A statement from an economic advisor at the White House may be rewriting market expectations.



On November 30, Kevin Hassett clearly stated in public that he would accept the position if nominated as the Chairman of the Federal Reserve. This is not just a formality. As the current Director of the White House National Economic Council, the timing and wording of his statement are worth pondering—especially considering his close ties with the current administration.

Who is Hasett? A proponent of tax cuts and a supporter of economic stimulus. His core position has always been clear: to invigorate economic vitality with more aggressive means. This style stands in stark contrast to the current cautious tone of the Federal Reserve.

If this person is elected, the tone of monetary policy will change.

He tends to favor a faster pace of interest rate cuts, a more flexible tolerance for inflation, and a more friendly capital market environment. In plain language: he is not afraid of quantitative easing, nor is he afraid of the market getting excited. What does this mean for risk assets? The answer is straightforward — liquidity expectations will be released in advance, and the risk appetite of funds will rise rapidly.

U.S. stocks will be excited, the bond market will be volatile, and the dollar will be under pressure.

And the cryptocurrency market? It may be one of the most direct beneficiaries.

The reason is simple: assets like #美联储恢复降息进程 and $BTC are extremely sensitive to the liquidity environment. Once the market confirms that the Federal Reserve's monetary direction shifts from tightening to easing, the speed of capital inflow will accelerate, and the logic of valuation recovery will be smoother. Moreover, the current government's attitude towards the cryptocurrency industry is relatively open, and this policy resonance will further amplify market sentiment.

Assets with high elasticity like $ETH often perform more aggressively in such environments.

Of course, all of this is still at the level of expectation. But the market never waits for the shoe to drop before reacting—it prices in all possibilities in advance. Hassett's statement is already enough for traders to readjust their rate cut bets and position allocations.

Looking at it from another angle: If the Federal Reserve really enters a "new cycle," the core characteristic of this cycle may not be inflation data, nor employment reports, but rather a fundamental shift in policy stance—from combating inflation to supporting growth.

This could be one of the best macro narratives for the crypto market.
BTC-3.42%
ETH-4.01%
SOL-4.65%

Hassett coming to power is a clear signal for easing; the crypto market is about to take off. --- Seriously? We have to bet on policies again? Exhausting. --- If liquidity loosens up, BTC will break its all-time high immediately. This time might really be different. --- I'm bullish on SOL. In this environment, high volatility coins make gains the fastest. --- The Fed has basically turned into a money printer; the previous stance has completely reversed. --- Pricing in advance? This is the moment I’ve been betting on, my positions have been set for a while. --- The term "policy resonance" is well used; it really feels like a compounding effect. --- Wait, this is still just the expectation phase, right? Don’t get too excited. --- I just want to know when the rate cuts will actually happen. Don’t let it be another empty promise. --- The worst thing for crypto is policy flip-flopping. Is the scale big enough this time? --- $BTC can't hold back against this signal, it's definitely going to break out. --- Rising risk appetite benefits small coins the most. I’ve gone all in. --- Enough talk, the key is when the liquidity will actually start flowing. That’s what really matters.

Hassett's move here is definitely about setting market expectations. BTC should be gearing up right now. Once the easing cycle is confirmed, all that liquidity is bound to flow into risk assets sooner or later. You really need to keep an eye on highly volatile assets like SOL. When it comes to rate cut expectations, the market never waits for a done deal—action should have been taken long ago. With liquidity expectations in play, the crypto market might really see a big rally this time. It's pretty clear where the money is headed. The logic behind this policy resonance is solid: dollar pressure plus risk appetite for BTC is a double stimulus. But wait, if this guy really goes for it, will the Fed suddenly pull a complete 180? Just thinking about it is exciting. To put it simply, with a friendly government attitude and liquidity expectations, crypto might really be ready to take off this time.

If Hassert takes the position, BTC is definitely going to da moon. Once the expectation of point shaving appears, funds will start to get restless.

As soon as Hassett opened his mouth, I knew this was another useless innovation... wait, this time it seems like point shaving can really happen? Theoretically, a rate cut cycle should be feasible, but it actually depends on whether he can really take office. That said, BTC has always been extremely sensitive to such easing expectations, so I need to run my models again.

Has Hasset taken office? The point shaving cycle has really arrived, BTC is directly to da moon for reservations. Wait, isn't this the signal the market has been waiting for... Liquidity is about to get liquidated. Don't worry, as long as the interest rate cut expectations are solid, encryption is a certain return, nothing to be afraid of. Policy resonance + liquidity, SOL is going to go crazy this time. But we still have to see if we can really take that position; right now it's all just talk. If it really loosens up, I'm optimistic about encryption this time, seriously.

If Hassett takes office, the Fed will really open the floodgates, which is a tremendous favourable information for the crypto world. Whether the situation can be reversed next month depends on him; once liquidity eases, BTC and ETH will surely go to da moon. The flood cycle has arrived, and monsters like SOL, which have high elasticity, may go crazy. In simple terms, the policy direction has changed from tightening to easing, and the spring of the crypto world may really have come. The market has long been pricing this matter, and smart money has already been lying in ambush.

Point shaving is here, is BTC going to da moon? As soon as Hassett said this, I knew there was going to be some hype. --- I can smell it; this is a signal for a rate cut cycle, SOL and ETH should have followed suit by now. --- Hassett taking over the Fed is basically a done deal; it will be interesting to see who has more coins. --- Is the policy turning to support growth? Then I need to adjust my position allocation; it really feels like it's coming. --- After liquidity is loosened, who will be the most excited? It must be the crypto market; we don't even need to wait for the other shoe to drop. --- This is what is called macro narrative; to put it in my previous words, it's a rhythm of favourable information clustering. --- US stocks are excited, the dollar is under pressure, and crypto is taking off; this logic is almost too perfect. --- Is BTC sensitive to liquidity? Wake up, this is exactly the type of asset loved during a loosening cycle. --- With the government's open attitude and the Fed's point shaving, this wave is indeed different. --- Alright, I believe it; it's time to readjust my position.
