Quick Facts:
The Fed just hit the brakes again.
In its yesterday meeting, on October 29, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) voted to cut interest rates by 25 basis points down to 4%. This marks the second rate cut of 2025 and it’s the clearest signal yet that a dovish pivot is well underway.
Two members dissented, though. Jeffrey Schmid wanted no cut, while Stephen Miran pushed for a deeper 50-bps cut. But the market will likely read the message loud and clear: the era of tightening is over. Liquidity is coming back.
The central bank has also announced it will end Quantitative Tightening (QT) on December 1st. Why does this matter? It effectively reopens the door to Quantitative Easing (QE).
Here’s why these altcoins stand out.
That’s where Bitcoin Hyper comes in as a solution to Bitcoin’s ongoing issues. Hyper will be a faster, cheaper, and fully trustless Layer 2 (L2) running alongside Bitcoin’s network.
Here’s how it works. You can bridge your $BTC into the L2 network, transact at sub-second speed, and settle back to Bitcoin’s L1 using zero-knowledge proofs. There are no middlemen or custody issues here.
With rate cuts lowering capital costs, a project that makes Bitcoin usable (not just holdable) will likely outperform many. If $BTC is money, $HYPER could be where that money moves.
Inside the app, users can swap, stake, and even join presales through the ‘Upcoming Tokens’ feature.
With over $16.7M raised and a token price of $0.025865, the $BEST presale is showing great momentum. Staking rewards are as high as 79% for those who buy in early.
The team is working on delivering more than just in-app features. The roadmap also includes a release of the Best Card — a crypto debit card that will let you spend crypto worldwide wherever Mastercard is accepted, bridging Web3 utility with everyday finance.
Those who hold and stake $BEST will get reduced transaction fees and cashback rewards once this feature rolls out.
As rates fall and retail traders step back into the crypto market, wallets and wallet tokens like $BEST become essential to infrastructure on-chain.
When interest rates drop, traders hunting yield come back fast. And few DeFi protocols are better positioned for that than Aster ($ASTER).
The project operates as a multi-chain Decentralized Exchange (DEX) for both spot and perpetual trading, offering MEV-free execution that keeps your slippage low, even during volatility.
Aster is built for speed and flexibility, running across BNB, Ethereum, Solana, and Arbitrum. Its ‘Pro Mode’ gives traders advanced tools like stock perpetuals and grid trading, while ‘Simple Mode’ caters to retail traders looking for one-click swaps.
With rate cuts and an end to QT likely to push liquidity into yield-generating protocols, many in the community are eyeing a big rebound on $ASTER.
