Economic data is looking good, so why is the market panicking?

US Q3 GDP growth reached 4.2%, exceeding expectations. Logically, this should be good news. But the reversal has occurred—stock markets not only failed to rise but have instead fallen into anxiety. The market logic seems to be inverted: strong data has become a catalyst for rate hike expectations, causing investors to become nervous. Some politicians have openly stated, "A strong economy shouldn't be punished. In the past, good news would boost the market, but now it’s scaring Wall Street to the core. It’s time to change this script."

A deeper issue is staring us in the face. The purchasing power of the dollar has evaporated by about 90% since 1971, meaning inflation continues to erode personal wealth. Yet the entire market remains stuck in the old mindset of "economic growth = central bank rate hikes," unable to turn the corner.

During this window of expectation mismatch, funds are beginning to seek new outlets. Creative token projects within the on-chain ecosystem are gaining popularity, especially in an environment optimized for low Gas fees. Many investors see these as new opportunities for strategic positioning. The rules of the game are being redefined, and the market is exploring new value narratives—are you keeping up with the pace?
