Surface interest rate hikes, covert liquidity injections! The new Fed chair's move signals a major shift in the crypto market ⚠

Everything is within expectations; the Fed has completely changed its approach.

New Chair Kevin Woor, at his first FOMC meeting on June 18, directly rewrote the rules of global liquidity with a combination of overt hawkish rate hikes and covert massive liquidity injections, precisely controlling the stock, bond, and crypto markets. The US dollar has officially returned to an era of black-box betting.

The three core actions of this meeting will directly determine the medium- to long-term trends of Bitcoin and altcoins:

① Destroy market expectations, replicate Greenspan’s US dollar black box

This rate announcement was only 130 words, the shortest since 2007, completely removing all forward-looking language about future interest rates and liquidity.

When asked afterward about the timing of rate hikes or cuts, Woor stated: "No comment outside the announcement."

This replicates the logic of the old dollar czar Greenspan: not providing certainty to the market, making capital unable to predict Fed actions. The era of transparent guidance and market follow-trading has ended. US dollar liquidity enters an unpredictable chaos phase, amplifying crypto market volatility and arbitrage opportunities.

② Cut the ground from under reserves, trillions of liquidity about to flee

US commercial banks hold over $3 trillion in excess reserves at the Fed, earning a risk-free interest of 3.6% year-round.

Woor’s core move: stop paying interest on excess reserves.

Banks lose their guaranteed interest, and the $3 trillion in idle funds must exit, flowing into real economy, equities, and risky crypto markets. Theoretically, this could release $9-12 trillion in total liquidity.

Plain language for crypto folks:
Externally, maintaining high interest rates or even further hikes to suppress short-term inflation and stabilize dollar credit; internally, withdrawing guaranteed bank yields, forcing hot money to flee. Rate hikes are just for show; the real core is liquidity injection. Crypto is one of the preferred pools for hot money to accumulate.

③ Bet on the AI cycle, create a dedicated liquidity release rhythm

Woor’s top-level logic is highly targeted:
✅ Short-term: Rising inflation → signal rate hikes to cool prices, suppress short-term speculative frenzy
✅ Long-term: AI productivity revolution → full-scale liquidity injection, replicating Greenspan’s high-growth, low-inflation golden cycle

Precise control: short-term negative shocks to shake out crypto holdings, long-term liquidity injections to support coin prices. The market rhythm is fully tied to the Fed’s AI monetary policy cycle.

Global risk-avoidance landscape reconfigures, capital shifts eastward

The global sovereign debt risk-avoidance logic is being reshuffled:
▪️ UK bond yields approaching 5%, combined with domestic political turmoil, foreign capital continues to flee
▪️ Japan’s foreign-held bonds are only 6.6%, yen hits a 40-year low, risk-hedging value collapses
▪️ Chinese bonds fully open the foreign capital entry loop: HKEX launched government bond futures on August 3, completely locking in exchange rate risk, removing the last barrier for foreign investment

China’s sovereign bonds steadily rise to become the third-largest global safe-haven asset, surpassing Japanese bonds and nearly matching UK bonds.

Global risk-averse capital flows: some anchor in eastern fixed income for safety, some spill over into crypto risk assets. Liquidity diversion benefits long-term crypto valuation growth.

Underlying financial logic shifts, rewriting the crypto track’s dividends

The global credit system is undergoing a fundamental change:
Traditional bank loans have halved from 80% to below 45%. Equity and innovative debt have become mainstream financing channels. Domestic innovative debt issuance exceeds 3 trillion yuan annually, with over 2,000 specialized and innovative enterprises emerging.

Financial roles are evolving: banks are no longer just lenders but are transforming into quality tech startup scouts.

Mapping to crypto: the era of pure capital speculation is over. High-quality tracks and fundamental narrative coins are the next bull market’s stars.

With the Fed’s dual explicit and covert policies in place, liquidity flows underground, and market movements are never blindly rising or falling—they always follow top-level monetary logic.

Understanding global liquidity is key to grasping crypto trends.
