U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent recently highlighted that interest rate cuts represent the critical missing piece in the puzzle for sustained economic expansion. In his view, the Federal Reserve needs to accelerate its pace on monetary easing to unlock stronger growth potential. The official emphasized that without lower borrowing costs flowing through the financial system, the economy faces constraints despite other favorable conditions. This commentary carries weight for markets sensitive to rate trajectory shifts. Investors watching macro cycles know well how Fed decisions cascade through asset classes—tighter money cools demand and valuations, while accommodation fuels risk appetite. Bessent's push for faster cuts signals confidence in near-term policy direction, though execution remains with the Fed itself. The broader implication: if cuts do accelerate as advocated, we could see meaningful shifts in capital allocation across traditional and digital assets.

Lowering interest rates sounds easy, but when it comes to implementation, it all depends on Powell's mood... Anyway, the crypto community will start hyping up concepts again.

The rate cut is really a bottleneck right now. It all depends on whether the Federal Reserve dares to take real action... But on the other hand, once this kind of market signal is released, short-term benefits are definitely there. On-chain funds have long been eager for signals.

When it comes to interest rate cuts, it really depends on what Powell decides. No matter how well you explain it, it doesn't matter...

Is the rate cut expectation back again? Every time it's said like this, but the Fed still follows its own pace... By the way, can they really make a quick switch this time?
