According to the latest information, Trump plans to announce a new Federal Reserve Chairperson in the first week of January 2026. Once this signal is released, it is no surprise that market expectations for rate cuts will intensify.
For investors holding mainstream cryptocurrencies such as BTC, ETH, and DOGE, this is undoubtedly a key point to watch closely. Historically, whenever the Federal Reserve shifts towards an easing policy, the abundant liquidity environment often drives up the valuation of risk assets. As a high-risk, high-reward asset class, cryptocurrencies tend to react first.
Many analysts have already begun discussing how this macroeconomic change might affect the relative performance of Bitcoin, gold, and other traditional safe-haven assets. If rate cuts indeed proceed as expected, the attractiveness of digital assets could significantly increase in a low-interest-rate environment.

January 2026, huh? Another long wait. I don't even know if my chips will last until then, haha.
I've been hearing about the rate cut expectations for years. Wake up, everyone. Bitcoin has already gone up.
Loose liquidity? Okay, I choose to go all in on Doge. Anyway, it's all gambling.
Gold vs. Bitcoin, this debate is old and tired. Just hold both, and it's all good.
Trump's move was really brilliant. The announcement is only in 2026. Starting to hype the expectations now, and by then, it'll be a mess again.

As soon as the rate cut expectation emerged, someone started speculating... I've seen this routine many times before.
It's another year waiting for the wind to come; the money is still the same, it all depends on who can run faster.
No matter how good the words are, it still depends on actual policies. Now there are all kinds of analyses flying around, I just want to see who can really hold on to the bottom.
2026 is still far away, don't get your hopes up too much; the historical record might just be broken.
Loose monetary policy expectations = a signal to chase the high. I don't not believe, I just don't believe in my own speed haha.
Is a rate cut environmentally friendly? Anyway, for my wallet, it's not environmentally friendly.

Interest rate cut expectations have been around for so many years, let's talk about it again when it actually happens...
---
It's either Musk or Trump, these are the expectations the crypto circle is speculating on.
---
Wait, does this mean a bottom at the beginning of next year? I need to replan my DCA.
---
Loose monetary policy is for environmental protection, but for BTC, it still depends on on-chain data.
---
We said the same thing last year, and what happened... it just traded sideways for a year.
---
No matter what policies are implemented, cryptocurrencies with abundant liquidity will naturally rise. I’m too lazy to analyze these.
---
Here's a question: gold also rises when interest rates are cut, so why must we choose digital assets...
---
This round of DOGE will also be driven by hype again; market trends are all expectation-driven.

It's the same story again. Every time they say that positive macro factors will make the coin go up, but what happens? I'm already numb.
