The macro environment of 2026 is reshaping the entire logic of risk assets.
As the Federal Reserve accelerates its QE measures, the geopolitical landscape is also quietly changing—the restructuring of energy supply chains directly weakens the pressure for de-dollarization. The appeal of traditional safe-haven assets is declining, and funds are seeking new outlets for returns. This is where the role of the crypto market becomes evident—the mechanism of stablecoins anchored to U.S. Treasuries not only addresses the issue of global inflation spillover but also creates continuous liquidity for the market.
Inflation data has already fallen below 2%, and after the so-called soft landing is achieved, the Federal Reserve will push more aggressively for a rate cut cycle. When risk aversion subsides, funds will accelerate into risk assets. The cryptocurrency market is at the forefront—meme coins, due to their small size and extreme volatility, often see the sharpest gains. Next are application-layer projects and major public chains, whose market caps are larger than mainstream coins but still hold significant growth potential compared to traditional assets.
However, it is important to note that new coin projects launched in the past six months should be approached with caution, as they carry relatively higher risks.
In precious metals, against the backdrop of global currency devaluation, traditional safe-haven assets like gold, platinum, and silver will also rise in value. Paradoxically, both risk assets and safe-haven assets are expected to increase in 2026—this is a characteristic of the era of liquidity flooding. Even if Japan continues to raise interest rates, as long as its rates do not surpass U.S. interest rates, the siphoning effect will not occur, and the trend of capital flowing out of the dollar system will remain unchanged.

Liquidity glut leads to forced buying; the logic is clear.

It's the era of liquidity glut, and it's been obvious for a long time. It's normal for risk assets and safe-haven assets to rise together.

This wave of liquidity flooding feels like a massive flood, everything can rise.

In the era of liquidity glut, both risks and hedging need to rise. This logic is quite outrageous... To put it simply, it's still the Federal Reserve's aggressive money printing. Meme coins are probably going to take off again this wave.

The logic of liquidity flooding has been heard too many times. Will it really go this way in 2026? It still seems to depend on how the Federal Reserve shifts its stance.
New coin projects are indeed risky; I was exploited once last year.
Can we bottom out on meme coins this wave? The small size definitely comes with higher risks.
Gold and BTC rising together—how to place bets more safely?
Has the siphoning effect of the dollar system really been broken? Feeling a bit uncertain.
Wait, can the mechanism of stablecoins really solve inflation? Feels more like a liquidity game.

The era of liquidity flooding has arrived, with risk assets and safe-haven assets rising together... This move is truly outrageous.
Meme coins with small market caps experience large fluctuations. This round is indeed profitable, but new coin projects still need to hold steady and avoid getting cut.
