## Market vs XPOWER distribution
- 50+ bps decrease: market 0.2%; XPOWER probability 1.3%; A large cut can ease discount-rate pressure, but crypto impact depends on whether the cut is growth-friendly or stress-driven.
- 25 bps decrease: market 0.6%; XPOWER probability 11.4%; A standard cut can support risk if it comes with stable growth and easier liquidity conditions.
- No change: market 90.8%; XPOWER probability 66.1%; No change keeps policy restrictive; crypto usually needs liquidity, yields, and dollar pressure to improve elsewhere.
- 25 bps increase: market 8.3%; XPOWER probability 17.8%; A hike would tighten financial conditions; historically negative for high-beta crypto unless growth is very strong.
- 50+ bps increase: market 0.2%; XPOWER probability 3.4%; A large hike would be a restrictive shock for risk assets and crypto beta.
