What Fed Is Doing Right Now
🇺🇸 FED WILL INJECT $23 BILLION INTO THE MARKET NEXT WEEK
LOOKS LIKE THEY FINALLY STARTED QE (MONEY PRINTING)
GIGA BULLISH FOR CRYPTO!!
#btc #usdt 1. Fed liquidity operations ≠ traditional QE
The Federal Reserve is indeed adding liquidity back into markets through operations such as repo and Treasury bill purchases, but this is not exactly the same as Quantitative Easing (QE) 2008–2021 style. QE was large-scale asset purchases designed to push down long-term interest rates and expand the money supply significantly. What’s happening now is described by the Fed as:
Ending quantitative tightening (QT) — so it stops draining liquidity. �
BTSE
Initiating Reserve Management Purchases (RMP) of short-term Treasuries and short-term repo operations to keep liquidity ample. �
Medium +1
These actions do add cash into the financial system and expand the Fed’s balance sheet, but many economists call this “stealth QE” or liquidity support rather than a full-blown QE program. �

2. The $23B figure
A recent post captured by news sources claims the Fed plans to inject about $23 billion in liquidity via repo operations next week essentially short-term lending to financial institutions in exchange for collateral. That’s real, but temporary, and different from open ended QE.

3. Wider Fed operations
Separately, the New York Fed’s open market desk has scheduled over $55 billion of operations (including reserve and reinvestment purchases) over the next month to manage liquidity conditions ,this is real and confirmed by official schedule releases. �

📊 Is This “Money Printing”?
Yes and no:
It does add liquidity to the system and expands the Fed’s balance sheet.
But currently it’s targeted at short-term funding conditions and reserve levels, not a broad program aimed at lowering long-term rates and stimulating growth like historic QE.
BTSE
Some market commentators — especially crypto bulls — interpret the Fed’s behavior as functionally similar to QE, calling it “secret money printing.” Others caution that temporary repo operations do not equate to open-ended QE.

📉 Why Markets Care
Bullish case for crypto (why traders are excited):
Increased liquidity can lift risk assets as investors seek higher returns.

Some analysts argue that continued RMPs plus eventual rate cuts lower funding stress and boost risk appetite (benefiting crypto prices).

Caveats and caution:
Repo injections are short-term and often used to smooth market plumbing, not to fuel sustained asset price inflation.
Medium
A few operations totaling tens of billions are small compared with QE programs of hundreds of billions–trillions historically.
Market sentiment sometimes overshoots reality — just because liquidity increases can help crypto doesn’t mean prices will immediately skyrocket.
*Bottom Line
✔️ The Fed is adding liquidity, including short-term repo operations that could total ~$20-55 billion in the coming weeks.
✔️ This is technically adding money into markets, but not officially a QE restart in the traditional sense.
✔️ Crypto sentiment is bullish in light of liquidity easing, but this doesn’t guarantee explosive price moves — fundamentals, adoption, macro context, and regulation still matter.
