Rate cuts have landed, but Powell says:

"Whether to continue rate cuts in December is not a foregone conclusion."

Directly reverting all market expectations to their original form.

Uncertainty about rate cuts → Risk appetite cools immediately

Government shutdown, missing data → Volatility pressed to the floor

Demand for the dollar remains strong → Funds flow back to the US

The conclusion is:

📌 BTC and altcoins lack new funding

📌 Sentiment frozen

📌 Most chains rely on market value to "survive"

But there is one exception:

The chain that makes money not by price, but by economic activity—

Polygon

📉 The US dollar is draining the world

Polygon turns the 'anti-dollar' demand into cash flow

Strong DXY means:

• Global liquidity tightening

• Risk assets under pressure

• Rising cross-border funding costs

Retail investors will lie flat

Institutions will contract

But on-chain will continue:

✅ Trading

✅ Clearing

✅ Payment

✅ Migration of stablecoins

✅ RWA settlement

Especially in a strong dollar cycle

Businesses and individuals will seek:

⭕ Non-dollar custody risk

⭕ Assets available at any time

⭕ Efficient cross-border value transfer channels

→ Funds accelerate the embrace of stablecoins

→ The place where stablecoins are used the most: Polygon ✅

📈“Strong dollar → weak crypto” is the old era

Strong Dollar → On-chain economy is more necessary in the new era

Macro shocks Impact on traditional markets On-chain impact

DXY rising Risk assets falling Surge in demand for stablecoins ✅

Interest rate cut expectations decline Speculation under pressure Switch to real use ✅

Government shutdown Financial function shutdown risk rising Decentralized settlement compensates ✅

Data missing Sentiment hesitates Automated on-chain activities continue ✅

Macro uncertainty increases

Increased emphasis on Polygon's 'never stopping economic layer' value

⚡Those who understand the times

Will not bet on market recovery

Will bet that the economy is always in operation

Polygon captures:

📌 Safe-haven trades in panic

📌 Consumption explosion in safe times

📌 Demand for settlement of enterprises on-chain

📌 Real circulation costs of stablecoins

Market fluctuations

But the fee compounding curve will only rise

✅ Ultimate strong viewpoint (collect)

DXY is siphoning off speculative capital

Polygon catches the future of the global economy

Dollar determines risk appetite

Polygon determines the flow of value

Dollar can dominate financial order

But cannot stop value from going on-chain

And Polygon

Becoming the default highway for on-chain economy

When everyone is focused on the highs and lows of DXY
