How Will Rate Cuts Serve as a Bullish Signal for the Crypto Market?
21.09.2024 11:00 1 min. read Kosta Gushterov
Crypto trader Michaël van de Poppe suggested that the Federal Reserve's recent decision to cut interest rates by 50 basis points could positively influence the crypto market.
The recent Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting revealed plans for potential additional cuts of 50 to 75 basis points in the near future, which he views as favorable for both cryptocurrencies and Ethereum.
A key point from the meeting was the Fed’s expectation of stable unemployment levels, a stance van de Poppe believes could be misguided. He anticipates a tightening labor market that might necessitate quantitative easing to support economic growth.
He also mentioned that continued interest rate reductions could enhance interest in Ethereum and decentralized finance (DeFi) projects, potentially allowing ETH to surpass Bitcoin in value.
With the likelihood of more rate cuts, he sees ETH and the DeFi sector becoming more appealing, which could attract greater investments in ETFs and increase yield interest, suggesting a bullish trend for both ETH and Bitcoin.
