Eric Trump bets Fed rate cut will send crypto stocks skyrocketing

Eric Trump is betting big on the fourth quarter. He says if the Federal Reserve cuts rates like everyone’s expecting, crypto stocks are going to rip higher… fast.

“I just think you would potentially see this thing skyrocket,” Eric told Yahoo Finance, pointing to the usual year-end momentum in crypto. He says this moment matters more than usual, not just because of market cycles, but because of what’s on the Fed’s calendar this week: a likely 25 basis point cut.

His own company, American Bitcoin (ABTC), is now public. It listed on the Nasdaq in early September after merging with Gryphon Digital Mining. Donald Jr. backs it. Eric co-founded it.

And they timed it right, because if Jerome Powell makes that cut on Wednesday, risk-on trades like bitcoin (BTC-USD) are suddenly going to look a lot more attractive than Treasurys or any of the other “safe” bets out there.

Eric’s point is simple. Less interest in safe assets = more demand for risky ones. More money moving into crypto. That’s the bet. “Lower borrowing costs free up cash for riskier bets,” he said. And that includes crypto-linked stocks.

Eric says crypto skeptics are now jumping in

Eric also says big private wealth managers are changing their tune too. “These people are falling, and they’re falling quickly,” he said. “You better believe it’s going to pour gas on this whole movement.” One of his friends, who used to tell clients to stick to Treasurys, is now urging them to buy crypto.

All of this isn’t happening in a vacuum. The Trump family has been deep in the crypto game. Eric’s father, Donald, has pushed pro-crypto policies like the GENIUS Act. And the whole crew has dabbled—campaign donations in crypto, meme coins from both Donald and Melania, even crypto payment options on Truth Social.

Truth Social’s parent company, Trump Media, holds bitcoin. They’ve also got ties to World Liberty Financial, another player in crypto ventures.

Eric says this isn’t just some side hustle. “I view it as crypto versus the banks,” he said. “There’s so much utility throughout the whole industry, certainly America.” For him, this is structural. He’s not betting on hype. He thinks crypto is here to stay.

Bitcoin’s up 24% this year. Over 92% in the last 12 months. Eric ties a lot of that to one thing: regulation. And the president has done a lot to give crypto some legal clarity. And that, in turn, is getting real money off the sidelines. Investors who used to hesitate are now jumping in.

Eric also sees Bitcoin as a replacement for gold. “Digital gold,” he calls it. “Gold without all the problems.” Fewer logistics. Easier storage. Same value pitch.

Bitcoin Crashes Below $103K as Traders Panic Over Fed's Shocking Announcement

Major cryptocurrencies experienced significant losses on Wednesday morning as investors sought to secure profits amid mounting questions about the Federal Reserve's upcoming monetary policy decision in December. Bitcoin dropped below $103,000, while other digital assets posted steeper declines.Bitcoin traded at $103,222 after falling 3% over the previous 24 hours, according to market data. Ethereum declined 4.7% to reach $3,434. XRP recorded a 5.3% drop to $2.40, while Solana saw the sharpest fall among major tokens, sliding 8.85% to $154.76.The leading cryptocurrency had briefly recovered from earlier monthly lows of approximately $101,500 to reach above $106,600 before the recent selloff began. Trading activity on Tuesday pushed prices below the $103,000 threshold to around $102,600.Technical Weakness Triggers LiquidationsMarket analysts pointed to multiple factors behind the sudden reversal. Vincent Liu, Chief Investment Officer at Kronos Research, highlighted the role of profit-taking behavior among investors. Bitcoin struggled to break through the resistance at $107,000, prompting long position holders to exit their trades.The failure to maintain momentum above key price levels led to cascading liquidations. Leveraged positions magnified the downward pressure as automated stop-loss orders were triggered across trading platforms. Liu noted that these forced sales accelerated the decline beyond what fundamental factors alone would suggest.A brief uptick in cryptocurrency prices had followed the U.S. Senate's approval of legislation to reopen the government. The resolution of the prolonged shutdown initially boosted risk appetite among traders. However, the positive sentiment proved short-lived as technical factors reasserted themselves.”The macro relief rally faded fast,” Liu stated. He identified $100,000 as the next critical support level for Bitcoin. A breach of this psychological barrier could unleash additional selling pressure and increase market volatility.Federal Reserve Decision Creates UncertaintyThe Federal Reserve's upcoming policy meeting has emerged as the primary catalyst for cryptocurrency market movements. Traders had initially expected another interest rate reduction in December. Lower rates typically benefit digital assets by reducing yields on traditional investments and encouraging capital flows into riskier assets.Fed Chair Jerome Powell recently tempered expectations about a December rate cut. His comments suggested that policymakers remain cautious about further monetary easing despite earlier indications. The shift in messaging caught some market participants off guard.New reporting revealed growing divisions within the Federal Reserve regarding the appropriate policy stance. Officials remain split on whether economic conditions warrant another reduction in borrowing costs at the December meeting. The lack of consensus has added to investor uncertainty.The CME Group's FedWatch Tool currently shows a 66.9% probability of a rate cut at the Fed's December 9-10 meeting. While this represents a majority expectation, it reflects less certainty than markets typically prefer when positioning for major policy shifts.
