The Fed cuts rates, crypto rips higher

When the Fed cuts interest rates, cheap money flows into risky assets and crypto rises much faster than stocks.

Result

If held over the last 3 months (Jul 30, 2026 – Oct 29, 2026): +21.9%. Over the same days: BTC +26.5%, S&P 500 +5.1%.

What it holds

  • Crypto leaders, 41% of the money, +28.0% over 3 months: BTC (Bitcoin), ETH (Ethereum), SOL (Solana). Bitcoin and Ethereum are the first places big money goes when rates fall.
  • Bigger swing coins, 18% of the money, +41.9% over 3 months: HYPE (Hyperliquid), LINK (Chainlink), AAVE (Aave), XRP. If the boom spreads, smaller coins with real usage can move the most.
  • Crypto-linked stocks, 23% of the money, +19.5% over 3 months: COIN (Coinbase), MSTR (Strategy), HOOD (Robinhood), CRCL (Circle). Companies tied to crypto prices and trading can rise even faster when crypto does.
  • Rate-cut check, 9% of the money, +2.9% over 3 months: SP500 (S&P 500), TLT (Long-term Treasury bonds). A broad stock bet shows whether cheap money is lifting all risky assets.
  • Cash, 10%.

The idea

Lower rates make safe savings pay less, so people go looking for bigger returns. Bitcoin usually moves first, then Ethereum and other big coins follow. Crypto-linked stocks like Coinbase and Strategy can move even harder. We add a small bet on the S&P 500 as a rate-cut check, plus Robinhood as a bet on more trading. Cash is kept to buy dips, since the timing could take months or even years.

What would prove it wrong: The Fed cuts rates but Bitcoin keeps falling, or inflation jumps and the Fed has to stop cutting.

FAQ

Can I make one from my own idea?

Yes. Write what you believe in plain words at https://f.xyz/create. fxyz asks a couple of questions, builds the portfolio and shows how it would have done over the last 3 months.

Can I turn a post on X into a theory?

Yes. Reply to the post and tag @fxyzai. It tests the view in the post and replies with the 3-month result and a link.

What can it trade?

Stocks (Tesla, Apple, Nvidia), crypto (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana), pre-IPO companies (OpenAI, Anthropic), indices (Nasdaq 100, S&P 500), commodities (gold, silver, oil, copper) and currencies (EUR/USD, USD/JPY). One theory can mix them, and bet for or against any of them.

How does it react to news?

How do I run it with real money?

What do the 3-month numbers mean?

What $100 would have done holding this mix over the last 3 months, at real prices. It is a what-if, not a record: past or simulated results are no promise of future ones, and nothing here is investment advice.
