September US Jobs Report Sends a Mixed Market Signal

The US September jobs report showed payrolls rising 119K versus 51K expected, while unemployment edged up to 4.4% and prior months were revised lower by 33K. The combination of stronger hiring, a higher jobless rate, and negative revisions paints a mixed economic picture. For equities and crypto, the near-term read leans cautious as markets price in a potentially tighter Fed stance and a softer risk appetite across major indices including $SPY, $QQQ, and $IWM.

September Jobs Report Release

The September U.S. jobs report came in stronger than expected, with nonfarm payrolls rising 119K versus the 51K forecast.

Oct Jobs Report 2025

Delayed Jobs Report to Shape Fed Outlook

The September jobs report—postponed by the government shutdown—is finally being released at 8:30 this morning. Economists expect modest hiring gains, but with October data missing entirely due to halted surveys, the Fed faces an information gap ahead of its December rate decision. With policymakers split between holding or cutting rates, today’s report carries extra weight, adding uncertainty and potential volatility across financial and crypto markets.

FOMC Minutes Signal Slow, Cautious Path Ahead for Rate Cuts

The latest FOMC minutes delivered a clear message: rate cuts are coming, but not anytime soon. Fed officials agree easing will be necessary, yet the pace will stay slow and tied closely to incoming data. While inflation has cooled, the Fed says it isn’t fully resolved, and a further softening in the labor market remains essential before moving faster. With no urgency to ease, the tone stayed measured — far more cautious than markets hoped for. The takeaway: expect cuts, but expect patience.

Core Foundation Takes Maple Finance to Court Over Exclusivity Breach

Core Foundation says it has secured an injunction from the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands against Maple Finance, alleging that Maple used confidential information from their partnership to build a competing product — violating a 24-month exclusivity agreement. Core also questioned Maple’s earlier disclosure of impairments in its Bitcoin Yield product and its inability to return certain BTC to lenders, calling the explanations unclear. Both the allegations and Maple’s response will now be tested in court.

Ripple’s Liquidity Advantage Stands Out as New Stablecoin Model Raises Eyebrows

Some in the community are questioning why Brad Garlinghouse was tagged in a discussion about a new stablecoin setup that’s backed by another stablecoin — and appears highly centralised. The approach feels unnecessarily complex, especially when the XRPL already solves liquidity fragmentation through its native protocol-level features. With efficient paths, built-in DEX, and seamless asset routing, Ripple’s ecosystem offers a far cleaner and more scalable answer than layered stablecoin structures.

Japan’s Yield Spike Triggers Global Liquidity Shock — Crypto Hit First

Japan’s 10-year yield jumping above 1.7% — the highest since 2008 — has reversed global money flows. Rising domestic yields mean Japanese institutions no longer benefit from holding U.S. debt, forcing capital back home. This pushes U.S. yields higher, tightening liquidity and pressuring risk assets, with crypto reacting fastest. While the short term brings volatility, rapid yield spikes often lead to policy easing. As liquidity returns, Bitcoin and crypto typically recover before equities.

Trump Says He’s Chosen His Preferred Fed Chair Candidate, Wants Powell Out

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he believes he’s identified his pick to lead the Federal Reserve, while claiming he’s being restrained from removing current Chair Jerome Powell. “I think I already know my choice,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “I’d love to get the guy currently in there out right now, but people are holding me back.” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has narrowed the shortlist to Fed Governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, former Governor Kevin Warsh, NEC Director Kevin Hassett, and BlackRock executive Rick Rieder.
