Fed official Musalem's latest statement sends a key signal to the markets: he emphasized that there is no need to rush into interest rate cuts at this moment. This stance indicates that the central bank is adopting a cautious approach given the current inflation environment. Risk assets, including cryptocurrencies, are highly sensitive to monetary policy decisions. With the direction of the interest rate cycle uncertain, market participants are closely watching economic data and Fed signals. Such attitudes can have long-term impacts on the blockchain economy and token valuations.

nah the "no rush on cuts" playbook is just fed signaling theater at this point... classic opportunity cost extraction while they figure out the inflation math. token valuations gonna stay in limbo until they actually move, that's just protocol dynamics playing out 📊

Musalem has started signaling hawkishness again, and the crypto market is about to experience another roller coaster... --- With the Fed dragging things out again and again, how are we supposed to play our tokens, really. --- Wait, they say there's no rush to cut interest rates? Then my short positions might blow up. --- It's the same rhetoric again; they know inflation hasn't really come down yet... --- In the long run, crypto is being led around by policies, which is a bit annoying. --- With these signals, I can only continue to hold, anyway the rate cut cycle is still far away.

Here we go again with this? The Fed is still pretending to be hawkish. Just watch the show.

Musalem is once again misleading the market—if they don't cut interest rates, they just won't cut them. Why bother saying "no rush" and beating around the bush... The crypto world will be kept on edge again.

Musalem is back to give us a lesson, saying there's no rush to cut interest rates... This means the Federal Reserve will continue to hold onto that money bag tightly. The crypto circle should just listen and not take it too seriously.

Fed is playing psychological games again, saying they're not in a hurry to cut rates, but the crypto circle has already started fractional reserve lol
