December 11th, the dust has settled.

The Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point rate cut as expected, with the federal funds rate target range adjusted to 3.5%-3.75%. Including the two moves on September 17th and October 29th, this is the third rate cut of the year — a quite steady pace.

What’s even more noteworthy is the signal from the dot plot: a further 25 basis point cut is expected in 2026, and the same in 2027. According to the median forecast, the rate will decrease to 3.4% in 2026 and further down to 3.1% in 2027.

What does this gradual easing path mean for risk assets? The market has already started to vote with its feet. Once the rate cut cycle begins, changes in liquidity expectations tend to be more important than the cuts themselves.

It's another interest rate cut cycle. How long can it last this time? Liquidity has increased, but the crypto world still follows the same pattern—more and more ways to trap retail investors.

The dust has settled, but the real game-changer is the roadmap for the next two years... Liquidity expectations are at an all-time high, and risk assets are about to get excited.

The pace of interest rate cuts will continue like this, and risk assets are probably about to take off.

Once the dust settles, interest rates will be cut. Liquidity is really much more important than the actual number of basis points cut. The market has already become excited, and there's more to come.

The dust has settled, but is it over? In 2026 and 2027, the decline will continue. This sense of rhythm is incredible—liquidity expectations are more valuable than the numbers themselves.

The dust has settled, and now it depends on who can outpace the rate-cut cycle. Liquidity, once loosened, leaves no chance to rest.
