Treasury Secretary Bessent just dropped his outlook on where the US economy's headed. His take? 2026 is shaping up to be a banner year.
Now, whether you buy into that optimism or not, statements like this from the Treasury desk tend to ripple through risk assets—crypto included. If the Fed's policy path aligns with this rosy picture, we could see capital rotation into higher-beta plays. But if inflation stays sticky or growth disappoints, well, that's a different story.
Either way, macro signals from this level matter. Keep an eye on how the administration's economic agenda unfolds over the next quarters. Policy shifts, fiscal stimulus, or regulatory tweaks could all feed into the broader risk-on or risk-off narrative that moves markets.

At 3 AM, if what Bessent said really comes to fruition, I need to calculate how many basis points the liquidity depth on DEXs could expand.

Will 2026 really be that optimistic? It feels like it’s all just talk.

The Minister of Finance is making empty promises again. Will things really take off in 2026? Let's take a look at inflation first.

Victory in 2026? Wake up, man. We're tired of hearing this same rhetoric every year.

Making big promises again—can we really believe 2026? Let's see if they can even make it to next year, haha.

A bull market in 2026? You'd be better off believing my shitcoin will 10x than believing them.
