#加密生态动态追踪 The Federal Reserve has turned on the liquidity faucet, and the market has sniffed out new opportunities.
Recently, the Fed has been quite active—buying $40 billion worth of short-term government bonds each month, along with reinvestment of MBS. Wall Street analysts have calculated that by 2026, the Fed will absorb nearly $500 billion in short-term debt, effectively buying up most of the market’s current supply. This operation, called "reserve management," sounds very professional on the surface, but in reality, it’s a massive injection of liquidity into the financial system—creating new opportunities built on low-interest-dollar liquidity.
For traders, this wave of liquidity arrives at just the right time. When borrowing costs plunge, where do risk-tolerant institutional funds go? Into crypto assets. Bitcoin once surged 17 times during the last round of quantitative easing. Now, the channels for institutional entry are even more mature—spot ETFs, professional custody, and compliant pathways are being perfected one after another. Powell has recently adopted a dovish stance, and Bitcoin has already reached the $94,500 mark. This makes it clear: liquidity is the most direct fuel for the crypto market.
The strategy behind yield spread trading is actually quite simple: borrow cheap dollars, pour them into highly elastic cryptocurrencies, and earn double returns from interest rate differences and valuation increases. Short-term volatility is inevitable; liquidity may tighten toward the end of the year, but the broad direction of Fed balance sheet expansion is set. Under policy interventions, the dollar’s credit faces pressure, and decentralized crypto assets have become a reliable hedge against sovereign risk. This liquidity feast led by central banks is fueling the next wave of market activity, and those quick-reacting traders have already secured their positions.

Here comes the liquidity again, and this time the Federal Reserve is really not pretending anymore. Last year at this time, they were still talking about rate hikes, and now they've absorbed $500 billion in short-term debt—that's a really quick turnaround.
I've always said that liquidity is everything. The current Bitcoin rally is just money piling up. It's now much easier for institutions to enter the market—things like ETFs and compliant channels—they're no longer as aggressive as before.
I've heard a lot about carry trades, borrowing cheap USD to buy high-yielding coins. Theoretically, there's nothing wrong with that, but how many actually make money? As soon as volatility hits, they get wiped out.
But on the other hand, if the funding environment really tightens by the end of the year, it's hard to say whether this rally can hold. But since the Federal Reserve has set up such a big game, it would be a pity not to take some profit while the opportunity lasts.

Powell has really become the best salesperson in the crypto world; every time he loosens monetary policy, Bitcoin soars.

On-chain data shows that reserve flows are accelerating again. This wave is different.
---
From a code perspective, the figure of 500 billion in short-term debt absorption is interesting; we need to monitor the actual deployment time.
---
The explanation of the spread trading strategy is too superficial. What's important to note is that the underlying dollar devaluation expectation is the key.
---
During the tight liquidity period at the end of the year, it depends on the changes in institutional holdings. As expected, there will be a correction.
---
Late-night observation: Institutional ETF inflows are indeed accelerating, but don't be fooled by the liquidity illusion.
---
Based on past experience, during this dovish cycle of Powell, the changes in pledged derivatives contracts are worth paying attention to.
---
At the 94500 level... the interesting part is that it triggered some large-position liquidation lines.

Here we go again with this story. How many years have we been talking about liquidity, and we're still talking about it? I just want to know if this time it will be another scythe gathering.

Having been rug-pulled so many times, now I just rely on the Federal Reserve's liquidity to survive. It's hilarious.
