The Bank of England is set to follow suit this week. After the Federal Reserve took the lead in cutting interest rates, major central banks around the world are simultaneously easing monetary policy. The Bank of England is very likely to announce a 25 basis point rate cut this Thursday.
Market expectations are already very clear. Not only for this 25 basis points, but institutions are also looking toward the end of 2026, anticipating that the Bank of England will have more room for easing by then. In other words, this is not an isolated event but a signal that the global liquidity environment is undergoing a complete shift.
When major economies simultaneously turn on the "tap," where will the abundant liquidity flow? History tells us that these funds will eventually find their way into risk assets. As a high-risk, high-reward asset class, cryptocurrencies often receive stronger support in environments with ample liquidity. It now appears that the macro "tailwind" is taking shape.
However, this also warrants reflection—can central bank rate cuts directly boost the crypto market? Or is this just one of many factors? For leading cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH, are their price movements primarily driven by macro policies, or do on-chain fundamentals and market sentiment play a bigger role? What does everyone think about the real impact of this global rate-cut wave on the crypto market?

The rate cut wave is coming, but honestly, will the crypto market really take off, or is it just another false alarm?
This time is truly different, a liquidity dam break level is coming.
Wake up, don’t just focus on macro, on-chain data is the real king.
Feels like I’m about to get cut again; every time the central bank moves, the price jumps.
Good liquidity is great, but it depends on who is buying; retail investors entering means the end.
25 basis points, what’s that? The real big move is the easing at the end of 2026.
By the way, if the central bank dares to cut interest rates simultaneously, they’re really out of options.
Wait, this logic has a problem; abundant liquidity ≠ automatically entering the crypto market.
Stop hyping, it’s just history repeating itself; in the end, it’s still institutions cutting profits.

Is this another faucet theory? I think, ultimately, it still depends on how the US plays it.
This time, I'm really not sure how long it can last; it feels like everyone is just betting that the central bank won't come up with new tricks.

Here we go again, the central bank prints money and the crypto market just goes up—this trick is so worn out.

The wave of interest rate cuts has arrived, but the coins still depend on on-chain data to speak, with macro factors just providing support.
