What Does Fed Chair Powell’s Statement Today That “Quantitative Tightening Is Ending” Mean for Bitcoin?
FED Chairman Jerome Powell gave critical messages for the markets in his speech today.
Analyst YT Jia evaluated Powell's statements and summarized the main message of the speech as “Quantitative Tightening (QT) is ending” and stated that this is one of the most important macroeconomic turning points of the year.
YT Jia noted that over the past two years, the Fed has tightened liquidity in two ways, both by raising interest rates and shrinking its balance sheet. However, he stated that Powell's clear signaling that QE would be halted sent a message to the markets that “the liquidity squeeze is over.” Jia noted that while this doesn't directly translate to quantitative easing (QE), its impact is similar, with the US dollar supply now shifting from a constant decline to a stable level. He added that this represents a shift from negative to positive for risk assets.
The analyst noted that Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market are particularly sensitive to such policy shifts and typically react proactively. Jia also found Powell's emphasis on the resilience of the US dollar system significant, noting that this implicitly acknowledges the legitimacy of stablecoins as a conduit for global dollar flows.
YT Jia stated that the cryptocurrency market will be directly affected by the slowdown in liquidity tightening and the green light given to stablecoins. The analyst predicted that FFAI's Dual-Flywheel strategy (EAI + Crypto) will gain momentum in the new environment, and capital will be directed towards both technology and the highly resilient crypto market.
Jia concluded his assessment by saying, “Everything we expected is now on its way.”

The last mile of blockchain, the first mile of Megaeth: Taking over global assets
1. The blockchain project Megaeth has recently reached a critical milestone with its public sale, marking the official start of the project. Its goal is to build the world's fastest public chain to solve the "last mile" problem of blockchain's management of global assets. 2. Industry observations indicate that the crypto punk spirit has been weakening year by year, and the industry's focus is shifting towards high-performance infrastructure. Against this backdrop, Megaeth is advancing the implementation of its project, emphasizing that the blockchain industry has moved past the early exploratory phase, and high performance has become key to supporting the next stage of application scenarios. 3. Industry insiders believe that all infrastructure has a "late-mover advantage," and blockchain also needs to go through a process of performance upgrades to drive scenario expansion. High performance is seen as the key to unlocking larger-scale applications. 4. With multiple chains exploring performance pathways, Megaeth positions itself as aiming to be the "fastest public chain," attempting to solve the challenge of "trillions of transactions on-chain." The team believes that addressing real-world problems is the most effective path, regardless of whether it is Layer1 or Layer2. 5. Megaeth's public sale is seen as the beginning of its "first mile" journey. Although it may face technical challenges, the potential brought by its differentiated underlying architecture is highly regarded and is expected to give rise to new industry paradigms.
