THE FED ENDS QT: Fiscal Dominance, Repo Stress, & Bitcoin’s Signal
In this episode, Nik & Demian Schatt break down the Fed’s latest 25-basis-point rate cut, the announcement to end quantitative tightening, and what it reveals about the growing fiscal dominance shaping global markets. They unpack Joseph Wang’s concept of “Balance Sheet Dominance,” the mounting stress in repo markets, and why the Treasury’s massive bill issuance is now steering the Fed’s hand. The discussion connects these liquidity shifts to Bitcoin’s role in a system where monetary control is slipping, inflation remains sticky, and fiscal power is rewriting the rules of global finance.
