## Content

The Fed cut 25 bps, and the market mostly had it priced in. My read: we probably drift higher into early next week as the dust settles, but position sizing still matters. It has been quieter on Farcaster with everyone flying back from Basecamp, yet Crypto Twitter lit up with two big launches: Syndicate and Aster. Syndicate became the first token to debut on Aerodrome’s launchpad, which is a huge statement for Base. Aster launches its token and is positioning itself as a Hyperliquid rival on Binance with heavyweight backing, which adds fuel to the feeling that alt season is creeping in. If this cycle is a baseball game, it feels like the sixth or seventh inning, still room to run. Net of it all, higher feels more likely than not, but stay nimble.American Express Tests Passport Stamps On Base Blockchain based “passport stamps” pilot on Base.
