PANews reported on October 10th that according to CoinDesk, several new tokens have recently experienced significant pullbacks after their launch, raising questions about the Time-Based Enabling (TGE) model ahead of a series of airdrops. CAMP, the native token of the AI-powered Layer1 blockchain, has plummeted 88% since its launch last month, while DoubleZero's 2Z token has lost 60% of its value in just eight days. Anoma's XAN token has also seen a significant drop, falling 60% in a week. XPL's price fell below its TGE issue price on Friday due to widespread negative sentiment surrounding the alleged founding team token sale, a claim denied by the company's founder. There are several reasons behind the dismal performance of newly listed tokens. One is excessive pre-launch hype, which means that when the tokens finally come to market, users are often content to receive a return on their investment rather than continue to increase their holdings. Another reason is token economics. XPL's woes were attributed to $813 million worth of "ecosystem and growth" tokens, which were allegedly sold through market makers, putting pressure on prices and exceeding retail investor demand. With major airdrops coming up for MetaMask, OpenSea, and Monad, some worry that the 2025 "airdrop season" could see similarly weak performance if supply outstrips demand.PANews reported on October 10th that according to CoinDesk, several new tokens have recently experienced significant pullbacks after their launch, raising questions about the Time-Based Enabling (TGE) model ahead of a series of airdrops.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
