Chile's central bank just pulled the trigger on another quarter-point rate cut, bringing the key rate down to 4.5%. No surprises here—it's exactly what the market had priced in.
What's interesting is the broader pattern. Central banks worldwide are navigating a delicate balance right now. Chile's move signals confidence in their inflation trajectory, but it also reflects the global shift toward looser monetary conditions. For crypto traders watching macro trends, this matters. Lower rates typically create an environment where investors hunt for yield elsewhere—including in digital assets. The timing and consistency of these cuts can shape sentiment across risk-on markets.

Declining interest rates = funds are seeking an exit; we need to watch this closely. Does the 4.5% level bring any improvements to the blockchain space?

Another round of interest rate cuts, now funds need to find a place to go. I'm optimistic about risk assets this year.

The interest rate cut cycle is back, and this time it's Chile's turn. Honestly, we're tired of this routine, but it's definitely good news for the crypto world... Liquidity is splashing out, and it has to flow somewhere.

The interest rate cut cycle is back, and this time it's Chile's turn. To be honest, the market has been expecting this move for a while, so there's nothing new... But on the other hand, central banks worldwide are easing monetary policy, which is indeed a signal for the crypto world, right? When liquidity loosens, everyone is looking for a way out, and our opportunity has arrived haha

The rate cut expectations have all been priced in. Now, it's just a matter of when liquidity will truly loosen.
