US Lags Global Trend on Rate Cuts, Delaying Crypto Rally: Analysts

Key Points

1. The US Federal Reserve maintained its benchmark interest rate at 4.25% to 4.50%, diverging from rate cuts in Europe and China.

2. Analysts argue that once the Fed cuts rates, it will align with global trends and trigger a surge in Bitcoin and altcoin prices.

3. Fed Chair Jerome Powell cited 'tariff inflation' as a reason for caution, while former President Trump has advocated for rate cuts to stimulate the economy.

4. Historically, rate cuts have been bullish for crypto, particularly with the availability of ETF products attracting institutional investors.

5. Market sentiment suggests that a US rate cut would signal a broader economic shift, driving capital into cryptocurrencies.
