Episode 35: Crypto Markets Rally As The FED Cuts Rates By 50 Bps

In this week’s podcast, Imran Lakha and David Brickell are joined in the studio by Stefan Rust, Founder and CEO of Truflation.

They discussed the recent FED rate cut and new stimulus measures from China which have helped to restart the crypto rally in the last week. Stefan explains what inspired him to kickstart Truflation over 3 years ago and how the markets are embracing his new and innovative way of producing real-time macro data on the blockchain. They touch on the inflation and/or currency debasement hedging properties of Bitcoin and the need to protect against asset price inflation in a world of perpetual money printing. Stefan and his team are producing data that even some governments around the world are embracing as the most accurate alternative to help them calibrate monetary policy most efficiently.
