- Penurunan suku bunga dapat mendorong kenaikan harga cryptocurrency, terutama Bitcoin.
- Altcoin berpotensi menjadi lebih menarik dalam lingkungan suku bunga rendah, yang dapat memicu 'Altcoin Season'.
- Diversifikasi portofolio dengan memasukkan cryptocurrency DeFi dapat menjadi strategi yang baik di pasar yang berisiko.
United States - The U.S. Federal Reserve is under pressure to cut interest rates, with President Donald Trump warning that Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's job could be at risk if rates are not cut quickly. This situation has raised questions about the impact of rate cuts on cryptocurrency prices. Historically, lower interest rates have led to higher crypto prices due to the lower cost of borrowing and the attractiveness of risky assets.
Charles Hoskinson, co-founder of Ethereum and Cardano, believes that lower interest rates could lead to a new speculative frenzy in the crypto market, potentially pushing Bitcoin to Rp 4.11 miliar ($250,000) by the end of the year. Past periods of low interest rates, such as during the 2008 financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, have shown that lower rates can lead to significant increases in crypto prices. For example, Bitcoin reached an all-time high of Rp 1.13 miliar ($69,000) in November 2021 during a period of near-zero interest rates.
In a lower-rate environment, not only Bitcoin but also altcoins could become more attractive, potentially leading to an 'Altcoin Season' where these riskier assets outperform Bitcoin. Diversifying a crypto portfolio to include coins with significant exposure to the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector could be a smart move. However, it's important to remember that crypto is still a relatively new and volatile asset class, and the current economic situation is uncertain.
