The Fed's move was unexpected. While everyone was still betting on rate cuts, the policy tone suddenly shifted—high interest rates will be maintained longer. What does this mean for the market? Very simple, just keep an eye on CPI, everything else is just clouds.

For the crypto market, this seems to be a positive signal. The anxiety over fiat currency devaluation is intensifying, and the hedging properties of crypto assets are being re-examined. But on second thought, macro liquidity tightening is an inevitable fact. In this "tight" period, blindly going all-in on high-risk assets would be particularly unwise.

The question is: how can you protect your principal and also have some stable cash flow? Many investors are turning to DeFi.

Not all projects survive by chasing hot trends. Some are designed specifically to cope with this complex market environment. For example, when you hold assets like BNB long-term, besides waiting for appreciation, can you make it "work"? Can you generate predictable, stable returns without increasing risk?

This is the logic behind many DeFi protocols. They use smart contracts and transparent rules to build a stable income infrastructure on the chain. Compared to traditional finance, which fluctuates frequently due to policy swings, this decentralized strategy appears more certain.

The key is to understand a trend: in an era that no longer pursues reckless profits, the art of maintaining stable cash flow is beginning to be valued.
