The firm’s analysts said Fed rate cuts and regulatory momentum support digital assets, though slowing growth and political roadblocks could weigh on valuations.

What to know:

  • Grayscale said Fed rate cuts support risk assets like bitcoin, but warned that slowing GDP growth, geopolitical tensions or a surprise policy reversal could pressure valuations.
  • Analysts pointed to potential staking-enabled ETPs, new altcoin products and Senate action on a market structure bill as possible tailwinds for adoption.
  • Much of the optimism is already priced in, meaning delays or setbacks on policy or product approvals could act as downside risks for crypto markets, the report warned.
