Kevin Warsh just walked into the Fed Chair role and immediately removed the easing bias markets had been pricing in for months. That shift hit crypto hard.
The rotation that followed is worth watching closely. The Altcoin Season Index dropped to forty-five, with layer-one tokens, DeFi assets, and meme coins taking the sharpest losses.
While macro pressure dominated the headlines, DeFi took another serious hit on the security front. Three separate exploits surfaced in rapid succession, and the pattern across all of them is hard to ignore.
The UXLINK situation adds another layer. The September twenty twenty-five breach was a forty-four million dollar multisig wallet exploit.
One piece of data that cuts against the bearish near-term picture: the RHODL Ratio is flashing a pattern consistent with the two thousand fifteen and two thousand twenty-two cycle bottoms. Long-term holders absorbed roughly one hundred twenty-five thousand BTC in June during the drawdown.
The immediate watchpoints are straightforward. Fed communication in the weeks ahead will either confirm or soften Warsh's hawkish debut.
