Former Ripple Exec Sends Crucial Message to Crypto Bears: ‘Find a New Home’

by

Well now, gather ’round, you crypto bears-those gloomy folks who’ve been predicting the death of digital currencies faster than a cat on a hot tin roof. Antony Welfare, a former honcho at Ripple Labs, has a message for you: Pack your bags, ’cause once the Federal Reserve starts trimming those interest rates, a flood of cash is heading straight for crypto. 💸

Why Crypto Bears Should Pack It Up

Welfare, no stranger to the world of risk assets, is practically rubbing his hands together with glee at the thought of what’s coming. According to him, cryptocurrencies are the head of the class when it comes to rate-cut environments. History tells us that when rates go up, safe assets like money market funds attract trillions of dollars from investors too scared to risk it all on the wild west of the markets.

Speaking of money market funds, guess how much is just sitting there, twiddling its thumbs? A cool $7.4 trillion. All parked there ‘cause high rates are like a golden ticket-guaranteed returns with zero risk. Ain’t that sweet? 🍬

But when the Fed slashes rates, those yields drop faster than a pancake off a hot griddle, making traditional assets like bonds look as attractive as soggy toast. That’s when the fun starts!

Important context for those bears out there … once the Fed starts cutting rates, TRILLIONS of dollars 💵 need to find a new home …

The crypto market is only $3.6 trillion today…. 🤓

Position yourselves accordingly as rates start to drop 🎉

Now, those trillions of dollars that were living it up in MMFs need to “find a new home.” And guess where they might be headed? Yep, you guessed it-straight to the crypto market. If only 5-10% of that $7.4 trillion wades into the crypto pool, it’s game over for bears. 🦄

So, to all the doom-and-gloomers saying “crypto is dead,” well, it’s time to wake up and smell the digital coffee. The total crypto market cap is a mere $3.6 trillion, a drop in the bucket compared to what’s coming down the line. 🧋

Welfare’s advice? You might want to buy before the rest of the trillions show up and send prices into the stratosphere. The train’s leaving the station, folks. 🚂

The Fed and Its Rate Cut Tango

Meanwhile, those eggheads over at the Federal Reserve are cooking up a plan to cut rates. Economists are betting on two cuts before the end of 2025, starting next week with a 25 basis point reduction, and another one in December. All signs point to the possibility of a whopping six rate cuts by 2026.

The Fed already made a move in September, slashing rates by 25 basis points, citing concerns over a slowing labor market and inflation risks that could make you lose your lunch. 😷

But here’s the kicker-Jerome Powell, the man in charge at the Fed, is set to retire in May. So, who knows what kind of mischief the next guy might get up to?

But for now, the crypto market seems to be picking up steam. Bitcoin (BTC) just hit $109,582, surging by 1.5% in the last 24 hours. Could this be the start of something big? Well, it sure looks like it. 😏

And if you think Bitcoin is the only one flexing its muscles, think again. Ethereum (ETH) joined the party with a 1.5% jump to $3,885. Even altcoins like Binance Coin (BNB), XRP, Solana (SOL), and Dogecoin (DOGE) are showing some serious swagger. BNB up 2.3%, XRP at 0.2%, SOL rallying by 2.2%, and DOGE doing a little 1.76% jig. 💃
