The market's expectations for the Fed to soon initiate a rate cut are becoming increasingly strong. Although this is an event in the traditional financial sector, its impact on the cryptocurrency market, especially Bitcoin, is profound. So the question arises: if the Fed cuts rates, how will Bitcoin react? Is it the starting point of a new bull market, or a short-term speculative opportunity?
💡 Lowering interest rates, simply put, means "money is cheaper." In the traditional financial system, interest rates are the cost of money. The essence of the Fed lowering interest rates is to make borrowing cheaper, increase the amount of money in the market, and encourage everyone to consume and invest more. Once interest rates are lowered, liquidity in the market will increase, and investors' risk appetite will rise accordingly. In other words: with more money, people are also more willing to take risks. In this context, risk assets (such as Bitcoin) typically become beneficiaries.
📈 The triple benefits of interest rate cuts for Bitcoin
First, Bitcoin is a risky asset.
In the eyes of traditional finance, Bitcoin is highly volatile and is a typical high-risk, high-return asset. When market interest rates decline and the returns on stable assets decrease, funds often seek "more stimulating" directions. Bitcoin, of course, is one of the popular choices.
Second, the expectation of dollar depreciation highlights Bitcoin's anti-inflation properties.
Interest rate cuts are often accompanied by monetary easing, and investors worry about the depreciation of the dollar, choosing scarce assets like gold and Bitcoin to "preserve value."
Thirdly, the on-chain ecosystem will start to heat up.
With more funds and speculative sentiment coming together, it's not just Bitcoin that will benefit; DeFi, NFTs, Layer 2, and various new concept projects will also gain.
🔁 Review of History: The Bull Market Triggered by Interest Rate Cuts in 2020
Do you remember the year 2020? The Fed directly lowered interest rates to 0 and launched an unlimited quantitative easing policy. The result was:
📌 Bitcoin surged from $5,000 to over $60,000
📌 DeFi lock-up surge, NFT take-off
📌 Institutional entry into the crypto space can be said to have brought it into the mainstream spotlight, and the underlying logic of that bull market is that "there's too much money."

⚠️ A rate cut is beneficial, but it is not a universal solution.
It is important to note that while interest rate cuts are generally beneficial for the cryptocurrency market, they are not a "magic wand" for "always going up":
Positive news is often speculated in advance: sometimes the market will absorb the gains during the anticipation phase, and when the actual interest rate cut occurs, it turns into "realization of positive news and price adjustment."
Regulatory policy uncertainty: Even with ample liquidity, if regulatory agencies like the US SEC continue to crack down on the crypto space, it will dampen market sentiment.
The macroeconomic environment remains important: if the backdrop of interest rate cuts is an economic recession, then even with more money, investors may be more cautious, which in turn suppresses speculative sentiment.
✅ Summary: The bullish factors are clear, and the timing is key. From historical experience and market logic, the Fed's interest rate cut is indeed a significant positive for Bitcoin:
✔️ Increased liquidity makes it easier for money to flow into risk assets
✔️ The weak dollar makes scarce assets more attractive.
✔️ Investor risk appetite has increased, and market sentiment has warmed up.
