Jerome Powell, Jackson Hole Weigh on Digital Assets: Crypto Daybook Americas
Markets expect Fed Chair Jerome Powell to keep interest rates steady amid mixed economic data and ongoing tariff-driven inflation, with futures pricing in an 85% chance of a September cut.
- Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is scheduled to deliver a key speech at the annual Jackson Hole symposium in Wyoming on August 23, 2025.
- The speech follows prolonged Fed rate holds amid rising inflation driven by tariffs, with markets widely pricing in a rate cut in September but expecting Powell to avoid firm dovish commitments.
- Despite macro uncertainty and recent crypto price drops, crypto ETFs recorded strong inflows last week, including $2.85 billion for Ethereum and $547 million for Bitcoin amid price consolidation.
- More than $400 million in long positions were liquidated as Bitcoin slid from $118,000 to $115,000 and Ethereum from $4,500 to $4,300, while cautious positioning is reflected in negative funding rates favoring puts.
- Powell's upcoming speech is expected to influence market direction by balancing signals of a possible September cut with ongoing inflation concerns, leaving crypto assets consolidating pending further labor and inflation data.
