The Fed's rate cut has become a certainty, but this time it might not be so straightforward.



Market expectations are for a modest 25 basis point adjustment, but the tone has changed. The upcoming Federal Reserve official Hsu announced that the Fed still has ample room to cut rates—question is, how much room? 50 basis points? His answer was affirmative. This suggests that the market may be underestimating the strength of this policy shift.

Even more sensational, Trump has also joined the discussion. He openly stated that a rate cut will be a litmus test for the next Fed Chair—support or opposition will determine whether you can hold that position. In other words, political pressure is indeed being exerted.

So, what will be the outcome tonight? Either 25 basis points (market expectation) or 50 basis points (option under political pressure). Market volatility could be intense.

Key cryptocurrencies to watch: $ETH, $LUNA, #美联储联邦公开市场委员会决议 assets tend to react sharply when macro policy shifts. An interest rate cut usually benefits risk assets, but ultimately it depends on the Fed's specific language and subsequent guidance. Check the news again before bed—this time, it might really be different.
ETH-1.8%
LUNA3.83%
WIF-4.63%

A 50 basis point increase would really send ETH soaring, but I still bet the Fed chickened out and chose 25... Political pressure is high, but how could they really go all in and raise by 50 in one go?

50 basis points is locked in, Trump's move is simply brilliant, directly digging a hole for the new chairman haha ETH is going to take off tonight, betting fifty bucks Oh my, such political pressure? Then when will the central bank also do something? Wait, why does it feel like the Federal Reserve has been sidelined, decision-making power has shifted to politicians? Staring at the market in the middle of the night, nails are almost bitten off, still waiting for the answer This wave is indeed outrageous, will the market reaction exceed expectations and crash down? LUNA is about to be tossed again, the crypto circle needs to be careful these days Just want to ask if anyone has doubled their night yield... With 50 basis points, maybe tomorrow morning will be a clear-out to sell off Trump is really a variable generator, increasing the difficulty of the Federal Reserve's work

50 basis points? The Fed is really serious about this, Trump's pressure still has some effect. --- Feels like this time 50 versus 25 has a higher probability, ETH is about to take off. --- It's political interference again, the crypto world fears this approach the most. --- If this keeps going down like this, with flood-like easing, our assets will appreciate hahaha. --- Can't sleep tonight, waiting to see what the Fed says. --- These officials are all actively hinting, but will it be all talk and no action? --- Risk assets are going to be hot, but don't forget the reversals of the last two times. --- Trump's move is ruthless, directly using the chairmanship as a bargaining chip.

Trump's move is really clever, directly taking the Federal Reserve Chair's position as a bargaining chip... This is blatant political kidnapping. 50 basis points? If they really dare to do this, ETH would have to skyrocket. Forget it, let's stick with stablecoins. This wave is too surreal. It feels like the difference between 25 and 50 is not just a number, but the collapse of the entire market expectation. No matter what, someone is definitely going to lose out, it just depends on whether it's retail investors or institutions. Hassett's words clearly are a message to Trump, truly despicable. Sleep? Nonexistent, gotta stay up and monitor the market.

50 basis points, are you joking... Trump's move was really clever, even the Federal Reserve Chair has to bow and scrape This wave of ETH is about to take off, political hijacking of monetary policy is truly ridiculous

50 basis points? Damn, that's the real bombshell, the market hasn't even reacted yet --- Trump played his hand perfectly, directly putting the Fed Chair under a tight spell --- Let's wait and see tonight, feels like ETH is about to take off --- Another political intervention in the central bank, this script is all too familiar --- 25 or 50, the difference is huge, I bet on 50 basis points --- After scrolling through news all day, I still can't see clearly, just wait for the results to be announced --- The signals that risk assets are rising are already on the way, right? --- Hasset's recent words are a bit aggressive, the Fed really might loosen up --- Junk coins like WIF are also getting excited, typical macro buy signals --- With such obvious political pressure, can the Fed still pretend to be neutral haha

A 50 basis point increase would directly boost ETH, but I still bet the Fed is hesitant; it ended up with only a 25 basis point hike.
