Recently, comments from Anna Paulson, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, have attracted attention. This newly appointed FOMC voting member in 2026 stated at the American Economic Association annual meeting that if the economic outlook remains stable, it may be appropriate to consider moderate additional rate cuts later this year.

Specifically, her assessment of the economic situation is as follows: inflation is expected to ease, the labor market is stabilizing, and this year's economic growth rate is around 2%. "If all these conditions are met, then some moderate further adjustments to the federal funds rate are likely to be appropriate," she said.

However, it is worth noting that Paulson also admitted that risks in the labor market remain high. The slowdown in labor demand has exceeded the pace of supply contraction. But she also pointed out that unemployment insurance claims seem to have stabilized, "Although the labor market is under significant pressure, it has not collapsed."

What does this mean for Bitcoin investors? The expectation of rate cuts generally tends to drive funds toward risk assets. Against the backdrop of easing inflation and moderate economic growth, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin may present new opportunities. Of course, the ultimate outcome still depends on actual economic data performance.
