Central Bank Cuts Again. Is Crypto Listening?
Key Highlights:
• BoE cuts rates for the fifth time, now at 4%, to combat UK inflation
• Bitcoin up 2% as global easing signals ripple through risk markets
Yello Paradisers! The Bank of England just did what everyone expected, cut interest rates by another 25 basis points, bringing them to 4%. That’s the fifth chop in a row, and apparently, Andrew Bailey and the Monetary Policy Committee believe tea isn’t the only thing that should be kept lukewarm.
This latest cut is part of a predictable easing cycle that’s now in its second year, and while it’s meant to revive the UK’s sluggish economy, its ripple effects are gently slapping risk assets around the world. Including, of course, our beloved Bitcoin.
Bitcoin traders looked up briefly, noted the move, and continued DCA-ing. At the time of writing, BTC is trading around $116,609.74, up 2% in 24 hours, but still down slightly over the week. Ethereum’s holding ground, Solana’s yawning, and XRP’s still recovering from its most recent $3 flirtation.
BoE Plays It Safe. Should Traders?
Here’s the part most mainstream media won’t tell you: crypto doesn’t react to UK interest rates like it does to US Fed policy, but it does listen to global risk signals. Lower rates mean cheaper money, more speculative appetite, and potentially more flows into crypto.
And while Governor Bailey assures markets this is about “economic stability,” crypto traders interpret it as, “There’s still no Plan B if inflation returns.” That alone keeps the narrative supportive for Bitcoin, the original anti-inflation asset.
BTC Stability? Or Calm Before the Surge?
MCP’s YouTube stream analyst will dive into this in our upcoming macro segment: how global easing across the UK, EU, and China is creating the perfect storm for crypto momentum, even as the Fed holds steady. If the US joins the easing party this September, BTC could spike harder than expected.
