In its latest daily report, QCP highlighted that the macroeconomic environment for cryptocurrencies and other risk assets is showing signs of improvement.
QCP pointed out that stimulus measures by central banks, particularly in China, could provide a boost to the crypto market. The People’s Bank of China has introduced several policies aimed at reviving the sluggish property and stock markets, including a notable 500 billion yuan swap facility to help non-bank financial institutions purchase shares. These actions led to an 8% rise in China’s A50 futures contracts.
The report suggests that the People’s Bank of China will likely continue its easing policies, while the U.S. Federal Reserve may soon join other global central banks in cutting interest rates.
Many central banks, aside from Japan’s, are reportedly preparing to inject more liquidity into the market, creating a favorable climate for risk assets. Additionally, the widening gap between the U.S. 2-year and 10-year Treasury yields, now at 21 basis points, signals positive economic growth prospects, typically benefiting risk assets over the medium to long term.
Political discussions surrounding artificial intelligence and digital assets in the U.S. have also driven interest in riskier assets. Following U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris’ assertive remarks on AI and digital currencies during recent fundraising events, tokens tied to AI have seen a resurgence.
Moreover, the SEC’s approval of IBIT Bitcoin ETF options trading indicates growing acceptance and demand for digital assets. While QCP acknowledges that specific drivers for immediate cryptocurrency gains are currently absent, improving macroeconomic conditions could propel prices upward over the long term.
The report emphasized that crypto markets are known for their volatility and sudden bullish surges, which could leave investors unprepared for potential opportunities.
These developments suggest that cryptocurrencies may benefit from broader macroeconomic trends, potentially leading to a new phase of growth in the near future.
Investor attention is locked on upcoming U.S. inflation data, which could shape Federal Reserve policy and ripple through financial markets, including crypto.
