Could Cryptocurrency Influence Fed Decision On December Rate Cuts?

Going into this week, all eyes will be on this month’s Fed Decision. The Federal Reserve will hold its final meetings of 2025 from December 9-10, where a potential rate cut is highly anticipated.

While there are many factors that could go into the Fed’s December decision, there’s one in particular that might have an underlying influence…

Cryptocurrency.

Scott Bauer was live from the CBOE floor, where he discussed this topic with Oliver Renick on CFOF Live last week. They touched on the big selloff we saw in cryptocurrency earlier this month, the big “cryptocurrency faction” that could potentially influence the Fed’s December decision, and one name Scott would consider watching.
