However, he acknowledged the potential for stronger hiring to contribute to inflationary pressures. He noted that the labor market appears poised to favor hiring over layoffs, signaling confidence in the economy&#8217;s forward momentum.<\/p>\n<p>Financial markets, Barkin observed, have started adjusting to the Federal Reserve&#8217;s projections of a slower pace of rate cuts in 2025. He highlighted that long-term interest rates are stabilizing at levels lower than previously hoped but still reflective of cautious optimism.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/8-bold-crypto-predictions-for-2025-by-bitwise-president\/\" title=\"8 Bold Crypto Predictions for 2025 by Bitwise President\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/unnamed-_1_-1-240x170.webp\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">8 Bold Crypto Predictions for 2025 by Bitwise President<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Fed reduced its benchmark policy rate by a total of one percentage point during its final three meetings of 2024, including a quarter-point cut in December. Looking ahead, policymakers anticipate only a modest reduction of half a percentage point in 2025, citing lingering concerns over inflation and uncertainties surrounding the administration&#8217;s trade, tax, and immigration policies.<\/p>\n<p>Although Barkin won\u2019t cast a vote on interest rate decisions this year, his remarks align with the Federal Reserve&#8217;s broader stance, which
