Deep dives

Positive Macro Environment for Crypto

The macroeconomic conditions are becoming increasingly favorable for the cryptocurrency market due to several significant factors. Following the U.S. interest rate cut in September, a global easing cycle has emerged, enhanced by China's substantial stimulus package, which is the largest since the 2008-2009 financial crisis. This combination is expected to improve global liquidity, thereby benefiting risk assets like cryptocurrencies. Additionally, the political landscape is shifting favorably, with election odds favoring Donald Trump, who is perceived as more crypto-friendly, alongside a growing pro-crypto stance from the Democratic Party.
