"Will Bitcoin rise as a hedge against uncertainty, or will the U.S. dollar's strength keep it sidelined? The future of BTC policies hangs in the balance."

Impact of U.S. Economic Perception on Bitcoin Policies

The trajectory of Bitcoin (BTC) policies under President-elect Donald Trump might depend heavily on how the global investment community perceives the U.S. economy and the strength of the dollar. Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, highlights that when investors feel uncertain about U.S. economic dominance, assets like Bitcoin and gold often gain momentum.

However, the current sentiment shows robust confidence in the U.S. dollar as a safe-haven currency. This strong investor faith could delay any significant policy shifts favoring decentralized assets like Bitcoin.

Will BTC policies adapt to shifting global economic perceptions, or will the U.S. dollar's resilience keep cryptocurrencies in the shadows? Share your thoughts below.

Crypto and Stock Markets Have Declined, Have They Topped?

In the last 24 hours, US stocks and crypto have seen a significant decline. This is due to the Fed's policy indicating that they will not rush to cut interest rates in the future because inflation is still far from the target of 2%. However, looking at various economic data, it seems that the Fed's decision to continue pursuing this target looks quite difficult. This is because the US economy is starting to show a slowdown, which should make the Fed in a dilemma with all the existing conditions. Plus, the Fed has to deal with the impact of fiscal policy under President-elect Donald Trump, who has indicated plans for tariffs, tax cuts, and mass deportations, all of which can be inflationary and complicate the central bank's job. BTC has experienced a fairly deep correction and has made investors and traders panic selling because they see projections from the central bank indicating that it is still in the phase of tightening its policies. If the Fed's policy continues, it is not impossible that further declines will occur in the near future for the crypto and stock markets

Federal Reserve Reduces Interest Rates Amid Economic Optimism

On December 18, 2024, the Federal Reserve announced a 0.25 percentage point reduction in its benchmark interest rate, bringing it to a target range of 4.25%–4.5%.

This marks the third rate cut since September, signaling the Fed's confidence in the U.S. economy's resilience and a commitment to controlling inflation without hindering growth.

The decision was made by the Federal Open Market Committee, with one dissenting vote from Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack.

The Fed's updated projections indicate a more robust economic outlook, with an estimated growth of 2.5% for 2025 and a steady unemployment rate of 4.3% over the next three years.

However, the central bank has signaled a slower pace of rate cuts in the coming year to ensure inflation remains under control.

This cautious approach comes amid speculation about potential policy changes with President-elect Donald Trump's imminent return to the presidency.

Investors are advised to stay informed about these developments, as they may influence market dynamics in the near future.
