Today on “The Breakdown,” NLW examines the upcoming Federal Reserve winding down, or taper, of its support for the markets. This includes scaling back its bond-buying programs, a process that could begin as early as next month and conclude the middle of next year. Plus, the Fed may raise interest rates before the end of 2022. Additionally, on the Brief, he covers:

  • A $50 million fundraise for a former ConsenSys exec
  • A new social token focused accelerator
  • Invesco and Galaxy team on crypto ETFs
