#BinanceABCs The US Treasury Secretary releases a 3.5% GDP growth forecast. Is the crypto world really about to panic?

We need to have a serious discussion about this issue. These days, everyone is interpreting that economic data, but the positive and negative signals you see might actually be misunderstood.

On the surface, a strong economy means risk-averse funds dissipate and risk assets come under pressure. But the deeper logic is the real killer—when authoritative institutions start to be bullish, the signal they send is "traditional financial assets have become attractive." Safe-haven assets like US Treasuries and US stocks are siphoning liquidity that originally flowed into the crypto space.

What’s more painful is the change in ordinary investors’ mindset. When economic prospects look bright, the working class no longer chases high-risk assets recklessly—this shift in market sentiment often has more impact than any policy suppression. Once this expectation becomes a consensus, the speculative heat on altcoins will significantly cool down, and BTC may enter a long sideways or slow decline phase. The so-called "altseason" might turn into a prolonged correction period.

The choices facing traders are quite realistic:

First, clear out positions. Those coins without real utility and solely supported by stories should be cut—only keep core assets.

Second, wipe out leverage. The biggest risk during the anticipation phase is adverse volatility; a forced liquidation can wipe out an account.

Third, hold UST and wait. Instead of blindly adding to positions, hold stablecoins and wait for the market to digest this "positive" with a sharp drop. When everyone is despairing, opportunities will naturally appear.

Crypto market risks are often disguised as prosperity. Behind this shift in expectations, what’s being pierced isn’t the market bubble, but the countless people’s overconfidence. Remember: when others are optimistic, you must also see the risks.
