Recent policy signals are reshaping market expectations—interest rate cut expectations are rising, and a new round of liquidity cycle is forming. What does this mean for risk assets?
Looking back at historical patterns, whenever the cost of capital declines, a low-interest environment often triggers a wave of reallocation: market liquidity is abundant → investors seek high-yield outlets → cryptocurrencies and other risk assets face revaluation.
Top assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum usually receive the most attention first. However, the current market situation may just be the prologue, and the real growth momentum might still be brewing.
The key question is: when financing costs decrease and the market loses patience with the decline in standard asset yields, which cryptocurrencies do you think will be the first to be re-evaluated? Share your thoughts 👇

The interest rate cut cycle has arrived. Is this wave of liquidity really about to splash? It still feels like waiting for that one moment.
---
BTC and ETH will definitely jump on the bandwagon first, but is the opportunity for small-cap coins also coming?
---
It's the old routine: when funds are cheap, they pile into risk assets. The question is, how long will this last?
---
Instead of guessing which coin will skyrocket, it's better to watch when macro data truly turns. Right now, it's still a bit uncertain.
---
Liquidity is abundant, which sounds great, but the real players entering the market are still the patient large funds. Retail investors might be about to get caught again.
---
It's only a matter of time before leading coins are revalued, but if you ask me, the biggest winners in this round could be those forgotten old projects.

Interest rate cut cycle? This time feels a bit different, it seems institutions are still on the sidelines, not as crazy as last time.
---
Honestly, Bitcoin and Ethereum have already been overhyped, and it might be the overlooked small coins that have a chance to turn around.
---
Liquidity is abundant, but retail investors still need to see when institutions will truly step in; otherwise, it's all just empty talk.
---
I bet Solana will rise this round; its ecosystem is lively, and with the interest rate cut cycle coming, it's a good time to ride the waves.
---
The question is, will the policy really cut interest rates? It feels like there's been a lot of talk, but what about the reality?
---
Altseason hasn't arrived yet; it still feels a bit early to get in now.
---
Instead of guessing which coin will turn around, it's better to see if the support levels can hold after the breakdown.
---
Lower capital costs make it easier to be harvested; history has shown it always plays out this way.

Is the interest rate cut cycle here again? This time it feels different. Last time, the liquidity pump-priming directly inflated altcoins to sky-high prices. Now everyone has gotten smarter; perhaps this time only BTC and ETH, which have strong certainty, can make money. As for the others, who knows where they'll run.

The interest rate cut cycle has arrived, but I feel everyone is waiting for BTC, while actually the opportunities in small coins might be greater.
---
Liquidity will definitely be eaten up by BTC first, but the real alpha is still those undervalued public chains.
---
Wait a minute, where is the promised liquidity? I still can't see my bag rise.
---
The historical patterns are outdated, this cycle is already different.
---
Instead of guessing which asset will be revalued, it's better to look at whose fundamentals are still alive.
---
The signal of interest rate cut expectations seems to have already been priced in by the market? It feels like it's late to get in now.
---
BTC will definitely be the first to bear the brunt, but how much it can rise is really hard to say; it feels like the ceiling is right there.
---
I bet the Solana ecosystem will explode; other public chains are just too competitive.

The interest rate cut cycle has indeed arrived, but it still feels a bit early to enter the market now; I need to wait for a whipsaw before making a decision.
---
BTC will definitely be the first to feel the impact, but the problem is that everyone knows this and has already piled in.
---
I've heard the saying about historical patterns too many times, and in the end, it's always the suckers who catch a falling knife.
---
Smaller coins are the real opportunities, right? The large investors must be quietly positioning themselves.
---
Here comes the same liquidity logic again, fine, I'll just wait and see.

The expectation of interest rate cuts seems not to have truly started yet; whether BTC can break new highs still depends on the dollar index's performance.
---
To put it bluntly, it means that funds have nowhere to go but to pile into risk assets, but the problem is that the ones entering the market now are retail investors who are late to the game.
---
Will small coins be slaughtered? That is the real question; don't just focus on BTC and ETH.
---
Abundant liquidity is favourable information for encryption; history has proven this, and now it just depends on who reacts first.
---
What are we brewing here? There should be some movement tomorrow; if we wait any longer, this opportunity will be lost.
---
Actually, we still need to look at the trends of corporate deposits and M2; just hearing about interest rate cut expectations is not enough.
---
Is Altseason really here? It feels like an illusion; BTC is still consolidating.
---
This logic is the same every time, and each time someone gets played for a sucker; I'm just watching the show.

The interest rate cut cycle has arrived, and this wave really deserves attention. But to be honest, most of those rushing in now are still gambling; no one can say when the real liquidity flood will come.
Wait, are you saying that small coins will rise first? I actually think that institutions will still pile into BTC and ETH, which have enough liquidity; the risks of small-cap coins are too high.
Historical patterns sound nice, but this time the policy environment feels a bit different; the attitude from the US is still changing... I actually want to see which projects can truly survive this wave.
Just because liquidity is abundant, it doesn't mean one has to enter crypto; the yield of traditional assets is also adjusting, it's not that simple.
What's being brewed? It's been brewing for half a year; it feels like a rhythm to let retail investors catch a falling knife...

Is the interest rate cut cycle here? I bet the rebound potential of altcoins is greater, the slight rise of Bitcoin really isn't enough to see
---
Liquidity stories are told every year, yet we don't see small coins taking off, do we still have to stick to major assets?
---
Wait, isn't this logic the same every time? Why does it feel like it's the same thing being said?
---
To be honest, Bitcoin and Ethereum have already been overhyped, it's actually those overlooked projects that might have the opportunity
---
With funding costs coming down, we definitely need to find an exit, but we still don't know where the money will flow to, it feels a bit like blindly following the trend
---
If this round really comes, those who enter a position first will make a fortune, while the later ones will catch a falling knife, it's the old story
---
Cheap financing doesn't necessarily mean the money will pour in, market confidence is something unpredictable.
