White House economic adviser Hassett just dropped a bombshell—he directly hinted that the Fed might cut rates at its next meeting. This is unusual; the White House usually keeps quiet about monetary policy, so speaking up now often means the situation has reached a critical point.



Why release this signal now? The pressure is already on the table:
U.S. national debt has surpassed $30 trillion, with annual interest payments exceeding $1.2 trillion. The Treasury is standing on quicksand. Even worse, bank reserves plummeted by $3.83 billion in just one week, triggering another liquidity alarm.

With debt pressure meeting tightening liquidity, rate cuts are shifting from “something to consider” to “something that must be done.”

If policy really shifts, the gates of global liquidity will swing open again. Wall Street is already reacting—MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor publicly stated that Bitcoin will become a $200 trillion “digital gold” over the next 20 years, serving as a hedge against sovereign currency risk.

Even the IMF issued a warning: if stablecoins continue to gain ground, they could undermine central banks’ control over money. This shows that crypto is no longer a fringe thing—it’s now at the center of reshaping the financial system.

There was another detail last night worth noting—more than 77.86 million ASTER tokens were permanently burned by sending them to a dead address. This kind of extreme deflationary move, combined with changing macro liquidity expectations, could make the “scarcity narrative” dominate market sentiment again.

Of course, this is just information analysis and logical deduction, not investment advice. Market volatility could intensify at any time—do your own research and manage your positions carefully.

Do you think this is a real policy shift signal, or just another round of expectation management? Will you adjust your holdings because of this?

As soon as the rate cut expectations come out, the hype starts—this routine is all too familiar. Every time they say there's going to be a pivot, and what happens? Retail investors still get rekt. That quote from Saylor is just a story. $200 trillion is way too exaggerated. It's better to stay calm. Liquidity is indeed changing, but the real thing to watch is whether the central bank is actually going to take action—statements alone can't be trusted. This round of ASTER burning seems a bit deliberate. I've seen plenty of schemes that use macro narratives to fleece retail investors. To put it bluntly, it's all a bet on rate cuts. I won't move my positions recklessly until there's real action.

30 trillion in debt is like stepping on quicksand, no wonder the White House is anxious... A rate cut is basically set in stone, BTC really might take off this time. By the way, Saylor’s 200 trillion narrative is back again—it’s always the same vibe, but this time the backdrop is different, liquidity expectations have changed. ASTER’s 77.86 million burn is pretty aggressive, and combined with rate cut expectations, the scarcity narrative really could gain traction, but it depends on the stance of global central banks. This time it really isn’t just about expectation management, even the IMF is getting anxious, which means it’s always a good idea to hold onto BTC. Anyway, it all depends on the Fed meeting’s tone, but the probability of the liquidity floodgates opening is pretty high. I’ll cut my position in half for now—staying alive is most important.

The rate cut expectations have already been fully priced in; the real question is when liquidity will actually loosen. Saylor is telling stories again—I’m really curious how he came up with that $200 trillion figure. This ASTER burn operation... it just feels a little too in line with the macro narrative, kind of suspicious. Even the White House has started to leak information, which does show this is a big deal, but it’s still too early to call a pivot. Let’s wait until an actual rate cut happens—right now it’s all just a game of expectations.

As soon as the interest rate cut expectations come out, how long can this round of hype last? Feels like it's just the prelude to another round of retail investors getting fleeced. The White House speaking out this time does seem a bit anxious. With the debt piling up like that, they really do need to cut rates to bail things out. The $200 trillion Bitcoin narrative is just talk—better focus on holding your own assets steady for now. ASTER’s burn maneuver is pretty slick, especially when combined with liquidity trends. It is interesting, but don’t get caught on the losing end. They say “this time is different,” but it still ends up with people getting fleeced as usual. I can’t afford to play this kind of psychological risk game.
