Powell hinted at a shift in policy, with the pace of rate cuts to be determined by future economic data. While Hayes is uncertain about the effects of rate cuts on the stock market, he is optimistic about their impact on Bitcoin. He argues that if the Federal Reserve reduces rates during a time of strong economic growth and high inflation, the subsequent increase in money supply could drive Bitcoin prices higher.
Hayes also referenced historical trends, noting that while rate cuts have sometimes preceded stock market declines, the potential for inflation in a rate-cutting environment could be highly favorable for Bitcoin. He suggests that Bitcoin, with its finite supply, could experience a rapid price increase as the Fed’s policy change unfolds.
As the Fed gears up for potential rate adjustments, Hayes remains confident that these changes will benefit Bitcoin significantly. His outlook underscores the relationship between monetary policy and cryptocurrency, predicting that Bitcoin could see substantial gains as a result of the anticipated economic shifts in the US.
