📉 What is a rate cut?
It means that the central bank (like the US Federal Reserve) has decided to reduce the cost of borrowing
The result: banks, companies, and individuals can obtain cheaper loans → increased liquidity in the economy
💡 How does this affect cryptocurrencies?
1. Increased liquidity = support for high-risk assets
When money is cheaper, investors look for higher returns than just putting money in banks
This directs liquidity towards stocks and cryptocurrencies
2. Decreased attractiveness of bonds and the dollar
With the rate cut, the yields on bonds and the US dollar weaken
Many investors shift their money to alternatives like Bitcoin as a "store of value" or a hedge
3. Stimulating speculation
In a flexible monetary environment, risk appetite increases
The rise is not limited to Bitcoin but extends to altcoins (Ethereum, Solana, and meme coins)
4. Positive psychological effect
The crypto market is very sensitive to expectations
Just the announcement of a "rate cut" signals that the central bank is trying to support the economy, and this immediately translates into rising cryptocurrency prices
A rate cut = positive for cryptocurrencies because it frees up liquidity and supports risk appetite
Usually, Bitcoin leads the rise first, then the money moves towards altcoins
But caution is needed: if the cut comes due to a serious economic crisis, the markets may be negatively affected despite the liquidity
