【Behind the Federal Reserve's Rate Cut Drama, Crypto Assets Enter a Trust Rebuilding Era】
This morning, the market witnessed what a policy reversal looks like—cutting rates by 25 basis points and pumping 40 billion into the Treasury market. This combination should generally be very bullish, but instead, U.S. stocks jittered, Bitcoin plunged, and long-term Treasury yields rose. The market’s true reaction speaks volumes: the authority of central banks is quietly weakening somewhere.
Why did the rate cut suddenly become ineffective? Two core issues are blocking:
**First, the political interference is too strong**. Before the policy was announced, economic advisors openly "predicted" a 25 basis point cut; after the announcement, some outright said it was "far from enough." From behind-the-scenes pressure to overt criticism, the market quickly realized—this is not based on professional economic data; it’s clearly a power struggle. When the central bank’s tools become political chips, the trust framework begins to shake.
**Second, the true intent behind bond-buying operations is too ambiguous**. Denying it’s quantitative easing while injecting 40 billion, such transparent obfuscation makes investors even more uneasy. If the economy truly faces difficulties, why hide the bailout? This lack of transparency is itself a bad signal.
But for the crypto market, this signal might actually be a turning point. When traditional financial "referees" begin to lose public confidence, decentralized assets as a "parallel system" emerge as valuable. Just at this moment, the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has relaxed restrictions, allowing traditional banks to participate in crypto hedging activities—meaning the pathway for mainstream funds to enter is clearing obstacles.
The market is shifting to a new game: no longer just expecting rate cuts to drive markets, but starting to reprice "sovereign credit risk." When central banks go from being the market’s stabilizer to political tools, shouldn’t your asset allocation be reconsidered? Perhaps crypto assets should have a greater weight in your portfolio.

The central bank's recent actions are truly outrageous. They claim to be lowering interest rates but are actually easing liquidity. The level of trust really needs to be reassessed.

The central bank has started playing the heartbeat game, still hoping that interest rate cuts can save the market? Wake up, everyone.
---
If this political game continues, BTC will actually stabilize, really an inverse indicator.
---
400 billion says it's not QE, I don't believe you, the market has already seen through it.
---
When traditional finance drops the ball, it's just the right time for us to get in.
---
A product of power struggles, investor sentiment has completely collapsed—this is a signal of opportunity.
---
The moment the central bank becomes a pawn, crypto has already won half the battle.
---
Is opacity the worst signal? Then let's just wait for the dip.
---
Banks are entering the market to hedge, what does that mean? Smart money has already known.
---
Repricing of sovereign credit risk, in plain English, means everyone has lost faith in the central bank.
---
Good question, my asset allocation has long been tilted toward BTC.

The central bank has made a mistake, and now the trust system is about to collapse. It's just the right time for us to get on board.

The central bank's move has already exposed its hand. Do they still expect people to continue trusting them? Crypto is truly transparent.

Even the central bank doesn't trust the central bank anymore, that's the most heartbreaking part.

The central bank has played out that trick, now it's our turn... Is it really just political leverage?
