The Central Bank of Egypt just announced its fifth rate cut of the year, lowering the benchmark interest rate by 100 basis points — this is not an isolated event.

The story behind it is clear: inflationary pressures have significantly eased, opening a window for policy adjustments. The primary goal of the rate cut is to reduce financing costs, attract capital inflows, and thereby stimulate economic growth.

But what does this mean for the crypto market? From another perspective, the easing cycle of global central banks often drives capital to seek high-yield assets. Against this backdrop, on-chain ecosystem assets are beginning to be revalued. ETH, as the largest smart contract platform, along with DeFi native tokens like BIFI and UNI, are in a sensitive period of reappraisal.

When traditional financing costs decrease, liquidity in the crypto market often heats up. This not only affects mainstream cryptocurrencies but also causes a broad rally in privacy coin ecosystems. For traders paying attention to whale movements, the upcoming market rhythm may accelerate — policy favorable news often signals capital deployment.

ETH-0.39%

UNI3.76%

With the expectation of interest rate cuts, capital started to become restless. This time, DeFi suddenly gained popularity. Interesting.

Another rate cut? Will it really boost ETH this time? Feels like it's been hyped up... Wait, does this logic hold? Does increasing liquidity necessarily mean buying coins? The central banks are all easing, so it's indeed time to see if altcoins can turn around. With such frequent rate cuts, where is the money flowing? Anyway, it won't just sit quietly in banks. Can bifi and uni keep up this time? Feels like I'm always one step behind. Another signal of whale accumulation... I'm still just watching the show as a retail investor. Is a bull market really coming this time? Or is it just another scheme to cut the leeks? Privacy coins are rising? I need to pay attention; this sector hasn't moved much.

The expectation of interest rate cuts is heating up, but when will the real money start to enter... Still waiting for a signal, it seems.

nah tbh rate cuts don't automatically moon the market... learned this the hard way holding bags through three different cycles. the real question is whether retail even has dry powder left after the last dump lol

Interest rate cuts... Are we going to hype DeFi again? Wait, are the whales really moving? The central bank is easing liquidity, we get the gains, same old story... UNI is set to soar. It's the same narrative again. Why do I feel like every time there's a rate cut, it's hyped like this... Will there really be a broad rally? ETH looks promising this round, but I’m skeptical about BIFI. Who is actually using it? Liquidity is heating up, capital is being allocated... Sounds good, but let’s see how many retail investors can benefit. Is the privacy coin ecosystem experiencing a broad rally? I remain skeptical. Who will bear the regulatory risks? The rate cut is here, but Gas fees are still insanely high. It feels like all the benefits are eaten up by ETH. By the way, have the whales already been positioning themselves? By the time we hear the news, they’ve already moved. Lower financing costs ≠ crypto price increases. Don’t get your hopes up too high, friends. I’m still on the sidelines with DeFi this round. Let’s wait and see the real on-chain data before making any moves.
