JPMorgan: ETF Outflows Moderating, Crypto Market Sell-off May Be Nearing Bottom

January 8 (CoinDesk) — JPMorgan Chase’s latest analysis indicates the recent cryptocurrency market sell-off may be nearing an end. Analyst Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou noted outflows from Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have stabilized in January, while futures market positioning metrics show investors’ deleveraging that began late last year has largely concluded. JPMorgan also highlighted that market liquidity remains robust, explaining the correction was primarily spurred by de-risking following MSCI’s October 2024 announcement it could exclude crypto-related firms — not broader market pressure. MSCI recently ruled against excluding crypto-related companies in its February 2025 global index review, providing short-term market relief and reducing forced selling risks tied to index rebalances.

Bridgewater Renews Call to Fed, Urges Rate Cut to Support Trump's New Policies

**January 8 – CNBC: U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has called on the Federal Reserve to keep cutting interest rates, ramping up pressure on U.S. monetary policymakers.** Yellen stated lower rates are “the only missing ingredient for stronger economic growth — which is why the Fed shouldn’t delay.” She also noted 2026 will see the “payoff” of former President Trump’s “America First” agenda. Per CNBC, Yellen said Trump laid the groundwork for robust growth via last year’s tax cut legislation, trade deals, and deregulatory policies. Yellen is leading the administration’s process to select a successor to Fed Chair Jerome Powell, whose term expires in May. She has repeatedly echoed Trump’s calls for rate cuts. （Note: The original content references Trump’s 2024 tax cut legislation and agenda, aligning with the context provided.）
