Market Reaction to Interest Rate Fluctuations and Ethereum DeFi Growth Jeff: The marketâs buzzing about the Fedâs interest rate decisions, with rate cut odds bouncing between 99%, 70%, and now 80%âtraders have mixed views, which is normal. Some folks think rate cuts wonât shake things up much. I met two teams today working on one of the biggest Ethereum DeFi markets; thereâs a ton of building going on, and the first wave of momentum is still strong. Ethereumâs climb from $2,000 to $4,800 shows that strength, but markets canât just keep soaring all day.
