The final major central bank document of 2025 is about to be released. The FOMC meeting minutes from December will be published tomorrow morning, and the policy signals hidden behind these minutes could redefine the macro expectations of the crypto market.
The most interesting part is — the Federal Reserve announced a rate cut, but there is a strong consensus internally on "pausing the rate cuts." This seemingly contradictory attitude reflects officials' genuine concerns about a resurgence of inflation. The question is, will these concerns evolve into a more hawkish policy stance in early 2026, or are they just a cautious contingency plan? The answer will directly influence the pricing logic of risk assets.
For the crypto market, a transparent and clear policy path is far more valuable than surprises. Once the details of the minutes are revealed, the market will have a more solid macro expectation anchor, which is crucial for capital allocation and market sentiment stability. Tomorrow’s data release is worth paying close attention to.

The Fed's recent actions are indeed a bit confusing—cutting interest rates while hinting at a pause. Isn't this just playing word games? Once the minutes are released tomorrow, they need to give an explanation; otherwise, the crypto market will once again be confused by these ambiguous signals.

Cutting rates or not cutting rates, this trick is quite slick... Basically, it's fear of inflation rebounding, but they also have to pretend everything's fine, a typical central bank double language. The minutes will be released tomorrow, and we should be able to see whether the Fed is truly hawkish or just a paper tiger.

Interest rate cuts are paused again, it's really a heartbeat game haha
Once the minutes are released tomorrow, there will definitely be another wave of altcoin plunges. If there's a mole, don't run.
The Americans' move is brilliant, superficially giving sugar but tightening behind the scenes. Truly brilliant.
Waiting to see how the 2026 reversal unfolds. Hold on to the chips accumulated now.
The rebound of inflation was expected a long time ago. It's a bit late to mention it now.
