The U.S. mortgage market just caught a break—rates dipped to their lowest point in three years, signaling a shift in the economic landscape. President Trump weighed in on the move, taking aim at Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and his policy decisions over the past cycle.
This kind of macro development hits different in the crypto space. Lower borrowing costs typically reshape capital flows across asset classes. When traditional finance loosens up, it ripples through risk appetite and market sentiment—two forces that heavily influence how traders position themselves in digital assets.
Powell's recent track record has drawn criticism from multiple angles. Whether you view the Fed's approach as misjudged or not, the data's speaking for itself: three-year lows on mortgage rates suggest the pressure might finally be easing off the economy. That kind of tailwind often translates to renewed appetite for alternative assets and growth-oriented positions.
Worth watching how this plays out in the weeks ahead.

It should be pointed out that Powell's recent actions are simply paving the way for us to reduce the opportunity cost of exiting. On-chain data shows that the big homebodies have been accumulating for a long time. Now that the rate cut cycle has arrived, they're only regretting it—laugh out loud.

The interest rate cut is here, the crypto world is about to take off again... However, Powell is indeed a disappointment; he should have made a strong adjustment earlier.
