#数字资产动态追踪 Wall Street's old hands are warning again: the worsening unemployment situation in the US may force the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates five times this year. This sounds like good news, but for Bitcoin, it's not that simple.

Let's start with the opportunities. Historically, rate cuts release liquidity that compresses the yields of traditional financial assets—stocks, bonds, and savings accounts all become less attractive. At this point, the opportunity cost of holding Bitcoin decreases, and with the US dollar also weakening, capital will naturally seek new destinations. The increased participation of institutional investors and the growing maturity of the spot ETF market amplify the effect of liquidity shifting toward crypto assets by several times.

But risks must also be considered. "Recessionary rate cuts" are very dangerous—rate cuts are not because a bull market has arrived, but because the economy is on the verge of collapse. During such times, Bitcoin will also be sold off along with risk assets. The panic selling during the initial phase of the 2020 rate cuts is a lesson learned.

Ultimately, $BTC is now deeply tied to macro liquidity, and its future depends on how two variables play out: the speed of rate cuts and the depth of the economic recession. If easing policies are implemented quickly and the economy achieves a soft landing, Bitcoin's safe-haven and appreciation properties will work together. But if a recession exceeds expectations and breaks out unexpectedly, short-term volatility will be intense, and we can only hope that a long-term easing environment will eventually push prices higher.
