Behind the Fed's "liquidity injection" of 220 billion: Rate cut expectations ignite the crypto market

Recently, the Federal Reserve made a big move—planning to purchase a total of 220 billion USD in short-term government bonds over the next 12 months, averaging about 40 billion USD per month. The official reason is that the financial system's reserve requirements are insufficient, but the meeting minutes reveal the real story: most decision-makers have shifted towards a dovish stance, clearly favoring rate cuts.

What does CME data say? The probability of maintaining interest rates in January next year exceeds 85%, but by March, the chances of a rate cut have surged significantly. In other words, easing policy is no longer speculation but an established trend.

The internal logic within the Federal Reserve is also quite interesting—although the US economy is still growing moderately, inflation risks remain overhead. Shifting to a neutral policy now can protect the labor market from collapsing while leaving room for future stimulus measures. Plus, a government shutdown could drag down short-term GDP, so preemptive liquidity injection becomes a preventive measure.

What does this mean for the crypto world? A series of events are unfolding. First, US regulators remain tough on DeFi, with the 25 million USD attack on Ethereum still under review; second, the mysterious transfer of 5.85 million EIGEN tokens on a DEX platform indicates large traders are manipulating the market in the short term, directly increasing volatility.

Ultimately, the Fed's "tap" influences not only traditional finance but also causes ongoing turbulence in the crypto market's liquidity expectations. Opportunities and risks are both amplifying. Are you optimistic about this bull rebound, or do you think a bubble is about to burst? It's worth deep reflection.

Printing 220 billion sounds impressive, but the regulation on DeFi is very strict. Can this wave really boost the market? --- The transfer of 5.85 million EIGEN tokens clearly indicates that big players are playing tricks. Retail investors should be more cautious. --- The hype around interest rate cuts is heating up, but inflation is still a concern. Can this neutral policy really stabilize the market? --- In simple terms, it's the Federal Reserve printing money, institutions rushing to buy, and retail investors following behind to take the losses. Old tricks. --- The interest rate cut in March is 99% likely to happen. At that time, I really don't know how high ETH can fly. --- Government shutdowns and regulatory clampdowns, no matter how good the liquidity expectations are, can't withstand these two trump cards. --- Looking at this pace, bubbles and opportunities are mixed together. Whether to gamble or not depends on individual risk tolerance. --- The $25 million Ethereum attack case is not over yet, and the market is still volatile. This signal is quite strange.

Once the expectation of interest rate cuts emerges, these big players start to dump aggressively. The operation of 5.85 million EIGEN is really brazen... The $220 billion liquidity will ultimately flow back into the crypto market. If this wave doesn't result in a strong rebound, it will be the ultimate harvest of the little guys—there's no middle ground. Despite strict DeFi regulations, some still dare to play. Truly bold and daring, many people are getting cut. Let's wait until the interest rate cut in March is implemented; only then will the true situation be revealed. Those who are speaking nicely now are just trying to push prices up to sell off.

2200 billion is pouring in again, and it's the rate cut rhythm. This time, ETH really has to fly. Honestly, I'm tired of these big players manipulating EIGEN; it's better to just wait for the Federal Reserve to print money. Regulators are still messing around, DeFi's days are tough... that's what I'm most worried about. Wait, if there's really a rate cut in March, wouldn't that be the trigger point? I need to do my homework. Is it a rebound or a bubble? I bet on a rebound; anyway, the Federal Reserve has already let the cat out of the bag.

Wait, the Federal Reserve is starting to loosen again? Then I need to get my USDT on board quickly, or if they really cut rates in March, this rebound will take off. --- It sounds like big players are manipulating EIGEN, I just laugh. Retail investors should just play the long game honestly. --- Bubble? Brother, you're joking. Liquidity is just coming in, and the bull market rebound looks promising. --- The $25 million attack case isn't over yet. DeFi does require caution, but it doesn't affect my bullish outlook on ETH. --- Government shutdowns, rate cuts, and liquidity injections—this combo is driving the crypto market crazy. Do you think it might overheat and surge too high? --- Injecting $40 billion every month—this is real liquidity injection, much more aggressive than last year's wave. --- That EIGEN move was a bit suspicious, but I'm not worried about big players accumulating. As long as the fundamentals remain, I'll keep holding. --- When neutral policies are announced, traditional finance will need to reshuffle. The crypto space should also be quick to position itself.

Wait, 220 billion just got poured in directly? It really feels like this time is different, rate cuts are definitely coming. --- The manipulation method that big players use on EIGEN, I just want to ask if the SEC can keep their eyes open. --- The probability of rate cuts exploding throughout March, ETH should also rise a wave then... or has it already been absorbed by the sell-off? --- Honestly, this liquidity loosening feels like paving the way for bigger events later. --- Bubble? It's too early to talk about bubbles now; the real game has just begun. --- The $25 million issue with dfii is not over yet, regulators are still fighting back. --- Rate cuts are confirmed, and this wave has indeed changed the game rules, but the risks are also very real.

Liquidity injection of 220 billion? I just want to know when it's our turn to take over --- With such a clear expectation of interest rate cuts, why does it feel like the big players have already laid their traps --- The move involving 5.85 million EIGEN definitely has some tricks, retail investors are always the last to know --- When the Federal Reserve acts, DeFi regulation follows, the套路 remains the same --- Liquidity volatility? Instead of stressing over this, better to see which air coin is about to explode --- Wait, is the government shutdown also leading to liquidity injection in advance? This logic feels so familiar --- Bull market rebound or bubble? I only know my positions are shrinking again --- The $25 million attack case isn't over yet, and there's a new trick --- Interest rate cuts are here but ETH hasn't risen, who is really harvesting whom? --- Instead of watching macro trends, better to keep an eye on the movements of that 5.85 million EIGEN, follow how the big players move and run accordingly
