The Fed's monetary policy direction is becoming clearer. A key official recently signaled appetite for around 1.5% in rate cuts throughout 2026—a meaningful shift that's already capturing market attention. Here's the thing: lower interest rates typically create tailwinds for riskier assets. When capital becomes cheaper, investors hunt for returns in growth-heavy and speculative markets, including crypto. So if this trajectory holds, we could see liquidity flowing back into digital assets as borrowing costs ease. Worth monitoring closely as these signals often precede actual policy moves.

1.5% easing room? Looks like they're about to start loosening monetary policy. The crypto world should be lively now.

1.5% rate cut? Looks like it's time for the crypto world to feast. --- They're already hyping it up again; let's wait until it actually materializes... --- Cheap money is coming, so funds will definitely flow into risk assets. Same old story. --- The Federal Reserve's signal... Why do I feel another cycle is coming? Need to keep a close eye. --- Wow, is it really that obvious? Just wake everyone up directly. --- Lower borrowing costs are indeed a good thing, but the premise is no crashes. --- Sounds good in theory, but how about in practice? We've played this game several times. --- I just want to know how high it can go this time... Hopefully not just a flash in the pan.

Laughing out loud, the Federal Reserve is starting to loosen monetary policy again, our little investors' good days are coming? --- Cutting interest rates by 1.5% and trying to lure me back into trading cryptocurrencies, Federal Reserve, I’m already familiar with your tricks. --- Funds are flowing into risk assets again, the crypto market is about to be cut again, I’ve already prepared my wallet. --- "Liquidity returning" sounds so professional, in plain terms, it means they’re about to start raising money again. --- I just want to know, once the interest rate is really cut, will the crypto prices have already skyrocketed by then? --- All you little investors, fasten your seatbelts, another roller coaster ride is coming.

1.5% interest rate cut expectation? Now capital costs will be cheaper, and retail investors can turn the tables and become landlords again.

A 1.5% interest rate cut? I saw it from the on-chain footprints of those dormant wallets long ago. Large funds are waiting for this signal, and now you can prepare to observe the fund migration trajectory.

1.5% Really? Feels like the central bank is just hinting again. Let's wait until the actual rate cut day to see. --- Cheap money is coming. Is it really time to start bottom fishing this time? --- The expectation of rate cuts pushing the market up is a familiar trick. What if I get cold feet then? --- Liquidity flowing back into the crypto market sounds good, but don't dump on me this time. --- It's another signal period. I'll just watch and say nothing. --- Wait, is 1.5% still not enough? Feels like the crypto community's appetite is growing bigger. --- The central bank finally compromised. It's time to celebrate this move.
