The billionaire hedge funder sees a Fed pivot coming—and crypto bulls are perking up. Here’s a look at which coins could benefit most if the dollar tumbles.
A possible dollar crash, an incoming dovish Fed, and a market primed for risk-on assets—it’s a cocktail crypto investors are watching like hawks. Legendary investor Paul Tudor Jones just gave traders a lot to think about, warning that the dollar could drop by 10%. If he’s right, Bitcoin, AAVE, Flare, and even meme coins like Bitcoin Pepe could be on the verge of major upside moves.
That might sound dramatic, but it’s not coming out of nowhere. The Fed’s next moves and political reshuffling could set off a chain reaction. Let’s unpack what’s happening and which digital assets could ride the wave.
Paul Tudor Jones Sounds the Alarm on the Greenback
Paul Tudor Jones isn’t the type to make empty predictions. The billionaire famously foresaw the 2008 housing crash, and now he’s warning that the U.S. dollar could get crushed.
In a recent interview, Jones pointed directly at the Federal Reserve’s likely shift toward rate cuts—either later this year or in 2026. His prediction is simple: lower interest rates will erode the dollar’s strength. He said bluntly, “You know that we are going to cut short-term rates dramatically in the next year… the dollar will probably be lower because of it.”
That’s not speculation—it’s conviction.
His view hinges on political winds, too. If Donald Trump wins in November, he’s expected to replace Fed Chair Jerome Powell. One of the names floating around? Scott Bessent, a known Trump ally who favors easy money.
If the Fed eases up and the dollar drops, assets like crypto tend to fly. Why? Because when fiat weakens, people chase higher-yield or higher-beta assets. That’s been the pattern for years.
Bitcoin and Risk Assets: Always Watching the Fed
Crypto lives and breathes Fed policy—whether it likes to admit it or not.
Bitcoin has always been marketed as a hedge against fiat, but in reality, it often moves more like tech stocks than gold. When the Fed loosens its grip, the crypto market tends to surge. And when rates spike, coins tank. Simple as that.
That makes the current moment feel critical.
-
Fed funds futures are pricing in at least one rate cut by early 2025
-
Inflation is slowing down, giving Powell some breathing room
-
Global instability makes decentralized assets more attractive
So yeah, the setup is there.
And unlike in early 2023, when many crypto projects were still reeling from scandals and bankruptcies, we’re seeing a cleaner slate now. This time around, the rally may not just be speculative—it could have legs.
AAVE: The Comeback King of DeFi?
AAVE is quietly building a case for being one of the most resilient crypto projects out there.
Its core business—decentralized lending—isn’t flashy, but it’s incredibly useful. Right now, AAVE has over $27 billion in total value locked (TVL). That’s not some meme coin pump—it’s real usage.
During the brutal bear stretches of 2022 and 2023, AAVE got hit hard. But unlike some rivals, it didn’t collapse. It stayed online. It kept building. And now? The charts are starting to wake up.
Just look at this: the 50-day moving average has crossed above the 200-day. That’s a golden cross. For traders, it’s often a bullish signal.
And it’s not just the chart. The average directional index (ADX), which measures trend strength, is at its highest in months. Combine that with positive momentum in oscillators like RSI and MACD, and you’ve got a technical cocktail that suggests more upside ahead.
Flare: Quiet But Climbing
Flare doesn’t get the same buzz as Ethereum or Solana—but maybe it should.
It’s a layer-1 blockchain that’s been steadily building partnerships and adoption. The total value locked in Flare has reached $185 million, and most of that is concentrated in SparkDEX, Kinetic, and ClearPool.
That’s still small compared to giants like Ethereum, but it’s meaningful growth. Investors love momentum, and Flare’s numbers are moving in the right direction.
There’s also a strong technical case here. The token recently formed a falling wedge—a pattern often seen before big upward moves. In fact, some analysts think this could be a bullish flag, pointing to a breakout target near $0.02220.
Here’s how Flare compares to similar networks:
| Blockchain | Total Value Locked | Active DApps | Price Trend (30 Days) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flare (FLR) | $185M | 7 | Up 12.6% |
| Fantom (FTM) | $440M | 11 | Up 7.2% |
| Avalanche (AVAX) | $1.2B | 18 | Flat |
Bitcoin Pepe: Meme Coin With Ambition
If meme coins are the street food of crypto—cheap, chaotic, surprisingly tasty—then Bitcoin Pepe wants to be the Michelin-starred version.
Right now, it’s still in presale. But don’t let that fool you. It’s already raised more than $14 million. And the devs aren’t shy about their ambitions. They want BPEP to become the biggest layer-2 on Bitcoin.
That’s a bold claim, sure. But they’re backing it up with plans for:
-
Ultra-fast transactions
-
Dirt-cheap fees
-
A new PEP-20 token standard
All eyes are on one thing now: the official listing date, which is expected to be announced in the next few days. If the hype translates into real market demand, this could be one of those surprise hits.
