Bitcoin Surges Following Trump’s Shocking Statements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After reaching $109,343<\/strong> on July 9, Bitcoin<\/a> continued its upward trajectory, benefiting from former US President Donald Trump’s statement. Trump claimed that the federal funds rate was “at least 3 points too high,” suggesting that a 300 basis point (3%) reduction<\/strong> is necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This unexpected position immediately had a positive impact<\/strong> on BTC’s price. Within 30 minutes of Trump’s post on Truth Social, the price of the leading cryptocurrency<\/a> began to climb steadily<\/strong>. Investors are anticipating the short-term consequences of such a measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to analysts at The Kobeissi Letter, such a decision by the US Federal Reserve would be unprecedented in modern history. No Fed rate cut<\/strong> has ever exceeded 100 basis points<\/strong>, even during the 2008 crisis or the emergency action in March 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certainly, the potential savings<\/strong> on public debt are estimated at $174 billion<\/strong> in the first year, or even $2.5 trillion over five years. However, analysts warn against inflationary risks<\/strong>. Such a cut could reignite inflation<\/strong> beyond 5% and cause a sharp decline in the US dollar, potentially exceeding 10%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Low Rates = Strong BTC ? The Scenario Attracting Investors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For Bitcoin<\/a>, the consequences are clear : a sudden drop in interest rates would be perceived as monetary stimulus<\/strong>. This should accelerate capital inflows to safe-haven assets like BTC<\/strong>. Although the likelihood of such a Fed decision remains unknown, the immediate market reaction suggests investors are positioning themselves for upside risk in Bitcoin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

It's official:

President Trump is now calling for the first 300+ basis point interest rate cut in US history.

This would be 3 TIMES larger than the 100 bps cut on March 15th, 2020, the largest in history.

So, what happens if the Fed does this? Let us explain.
