Former White House economic advisor Hassett recently made a public call for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. This statement is quite unusual—normally, such pressure is applied behind closed doors. Why bring it out into the open now?

There are two major issues behind this: the annual interest payments on U.S. Treasury debt have already surpassed $1.2 trillion, putting immense pressure on fiscal policy; at the same time, bank system reserves saw an outflow of $38.3 billion in a single week, and liquidity is tightening at a visibly rapid pace.

If a rate cut really happens, how will the market react?

Historical experience tells us that easing cycles are often accompanied by capital outflows. The narrative of Bitcoin as "digital gold" would be reignited—one tech company CEO even floated a long-term vision of $200 trillion. Underlying assets like Ethereum and BNB, which support the DeFi ecosystem, could also become priority choices for institutional allocation.

The Meme sector is even more aggressive. Last night, the ASTER project team announced the permanent burn of 77.86 million tokens, taking the deflationary mechanism to the extreme—in a loose liquidity environment, such moves often trigger short-term explosive growth.

But don’t forget, there’s still a long game of speculation between policy expectations and actual implementation. Do you think this is a real shift, or just another market test?
