The UK central bank just loosened capital requirements for banks—basically giving them more room to deploy funds. The stated goal? Stimulate economic growth. But here's what matters for markets: when traditional finance gets more liquidity, some of that capital inevitably flows toward alternative assets. We've seen this pattern before during monetary easing cycles. Banks with lighter balance sheet constraints tend to explore higher-yield opportunities. Whether this directly impacts crypto remains to be seen, but regulatory shifts in major economies always ripple through global capital markets. Worth monitoring how this plays out over the next few quarters.

It's the same old routine: money printing → inflows into alternative assets → we make profits. This logic is so obvious you can see through it with your eyes closed.

Hey, let the data speak—every time there's a reserve requirement cut in history, funds always flow to high-yield assets. This time in the UK is no exception (◍•ᴗ•◍) Bear Bear has already marked this trend.

Another trap? Every time they say liquidity is sufficient, it will inevitably flow into crypto, wake up.

Here we go again, the pound is starting point shaving again... where does the money flow to after every such operation?

The data shows that although this trap sounds reasonable, it was also said during historical lows, and what was the result? Miners ate too much, and in the end, it still collapsed. Let's wait and see.

The pound is going to be printed again, this time for open banking capital... The loosening of TradFi is our signal.
