The Breakdown

At last week’s Jackson Hole gathering, Jerome Powell delivered his final speech as Fed Chair. On the surface it was dry and technical, but markets read it as a dovish signal—and risk assets surged. In today’s Breakdown, NLW digs into what Powell actually said, why markets reacted so strongly, and what the revisions to the Fed’s monetary policy framework mean for inflation, employment, and the future of central bank independence.

A Nothingburger Speech that Moved Markets

On this Long Read Sunday, NLW turns to Byron Gilliam’s Breakdown newsletter for a discussion of whether crypto narratives are finally becoming reality. From gold’s millennia-long hold on value perception to new empirical evidence linking sovereign risk and crypto adoption, the conversation explores how stories of Bitcoin as digital gold, a hedge against government dysfunction, and a tool for remittances are increasingly backed by data. NLW unpacks the idea of narrative reflexivity in markets, why anecdotes are turning into evidence, and how the perception of crypto is hardening into reality.

Crypto Narratives Becoming Reality

Markets turned their attention to Jackson Hole for Jerome Powell’s final speech as Fed Chair, while crypto and AI narratives kept investors on edge. NLW unpacks how Powell’s tone could shift rate cut expectations, the signals from Wyoming’s new state stablecoin, and why the crypto lobby is racing to lock in legislation before midterms. A slow summer week on the surface, but one filled with clues about where the next big fights will emerge.

Markets Hold Their Breath in Wyoming

At the Wyoming Blockchain Summit, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller delivered one of the most striking pro-crypto speeches ever from a senior central banker. Waller argued that decentralized finance is simply the next iteration of financial technology, praised stablecoins as now-mature infrastructure, and said the Fed itself must modernize its payment rails to be compatible with crypto. He even joked about trading meme coins on a DEX as if it were the most normal thing in the world. Later, Senator Cynthia Lummis outlined her timeline for market structure legislation, with momentum building around the Clarity Act. Meanwhile, Wall Street analysts from Goldman Sachs and UBS are increasingly focused on the multi-trillion-dollar stablecoin opportunity. Today’s Breakdown unpacks the shifting discourse, the Fed’s evolving stance, and why 2024 may be the decisive year for U.S. crypto regulation.

Fed Governor Waller Says Crypto Adoption Is Nothing to Fear

At this year’s Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, regulators and policymakers made it clear that crypto’s role in the U.S. financial system is entering a new chapter. Federal Reserve Governor Michelle Bowman delivered a groundbreaking speech on embracing innovation, SEC Chair Paul Atkins signaled fresh thinking on token regulation, and Senate Banking Chair Tim Scott weighed in on the market structure bill. Wyoming also launched its own state-backed stablecoin, underscoring the state’s push to the forefront of digital finance. Plus, we break down market sentiment, MicroStrategy’s shifting guidance, and why some analysts see this bull run extending to 2027.

Crypto at a Crossroads in Wyoming

As Jerome Powell prepares for his final Jackson Hole address, we look back at how his speeches at the Fed’s most important annual gathering have shaped the past six years of monetary policy. From “transitory” inflation to the Volcker comparisons of 2022, Powell’s Jackson Hole moments trace the story of his tenure and the economic landscape we’re living through today.

Correction Watch 2025: Bitcoin Pullback or Just Another Bull Run Pause?

On this week’s Long Read Sunday, NLW reads two essays exploring the intersection of Bitcoin, crypto, and politics. The first, Red Coin Blue Coin: The New Politics of Exposure, looks at the rise of politically branded Bitcoin treasuries—from Michael Saylor’s Strategy to Trump Media’s $2 billion BTC bet—and asks whether investors are buying the coin or the campaign. The second, A Regulator’s Radical Defense of Privacy by Byron Gilliam, covers SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce’s surprising embrace of cypherpunk ideals and her challenge to the financial surveillance status quo.

Bitcoin, Politics, and Privacy

In this week’s Friday Five, NLW and Scott break down U.S. Treasury comments that rattled Bitcoin markets and offered a rare glimpse into America’s BTC holdings, then dive deep into Circle’s launch of a layer one blockchain—and why it’s sparking debate about the return of private chain walled gardens. The conversation explores how rate cuts could hit Circle’s revenue, potential ripple effects for Coinbase, and the shifting competition between crypto-native giants and fintech incumbents. Plus, frothy IPOs like Bullish, Ethereum ETF momentum, and what BlackRock’s $100B in crypto assets means for the market.
