美联储连续第三次降息，加密市场依然不为所动

美联储最近宣布了国家新的利率。 12 月 18 日，在今年最后一次 FOMC 会议上，杰罗姆·鲍威尔 (Jerome Powell) 宣布利率将再削减 25 个基点。

The U.S. Federal Reserve announced the nation’s new interest rate on December 18 during the last FOMC meeting of the year. Jerome Powell announced that interests would be slashed by another 25-basis-points.

美联储于 12 月 18 日在今年最后一次 FOMC 会议上宣布了美国新利率。杰罗姆·鲍威尔宣布利息将再削减 25 个基点。

This development marks a significant shift from the state of American interest rates a couple of years prior. In order to control inflation and prevent a recession in the post-COVID economy, the Federal Reserve continuously raised interest rates for nearly 2 years, reaching the biggest mark of the decade.

这一发展标志着美国利率状况与几年前相比发生了重大转变。为了控制通胀、防止疫情后经济衰退，美联储连续近两年加息，达到十年来最大幅度。

Now, interests are at a target rate of 4.25% to 4.5%. December’s slash marks the third consecutive interest rate cut. In total, the Fed has cut interests by a whopping 1 full basis point in 2024.

目前，利率目标为4.25%至4.5%。 12月的大幅降息标志着连续第三次降息。总体而言，美联储在 2024 年降息幅度高达 1 个基点。

Meanwhile, the crypto market was slow to respond to the news from today’s FOMC meeting. Moments after the announcement, most digital assets continued their intraday downward trend.

与此同时，加密货币市场对今天联邦公开市场委员会会议的消息反应缓慢。消息公布后不久，大多数数字资产继续盘中下跌趋势。

XRP, SHIB, and DOGE are among the biggest losers of the day—with decreases of nearly 10% in value during the last 24 hours. Bitcoin is still maintaining its $100k margin at $100,925 despite near 6% losses in that same time frame.

XRP、SHIB 和 DOGE 是当天跌幅最大的货币之一，在过去 24 小时内价值下跌了近 10%。尽管同期下跌了近 6%，但比特币仍将 10 万美元的利润维持在 100,925 美元。

In general, interest rate cuts usually have a large positive impact on digital assets. As borrowing costs decrease—risky assets tend to gain value as investors are able to obtain capital easier. However, the fact that today’s rate cut comes after one of the most profitable rallies in history could mean that the announcement came at a specific time when buyers are exhausted.

总体而言，降息通常会对数字资产产生较大的积极影响。随着借贷成本下降，风险资产往往会增值，因为投资者能够更容易地获得资本。然而，今天的降息是在历史上最赚钱的反弹之一之后发生的，这一事实可能意味着这一消息是在买家筋疲力尽的特定时间发布的。

Behind this mysterious stagnation could be regarding Jerome Powell’s statement today—in which he claimed that future rate cuts will require a higher bar of acceptance for them to through. The Fed now thinks that the target rate should be at 3% for 2025, which in theory could mean more cuts in the next months, but that would depend on how the economy performs, particularly the Fed’s favorite metrics: core personal consumption expenditures and the overall consumer price index.

这种神秘的停滞背后可能与杰罗姆·鲍威尔今天的声明有关——他在声明中声称，未来的降息将需要更高的接受度才能通过。美联储目前认为 2025 年的目标利率应为 3%，理论上这可能意味着未来几个月会进一步降息，但这将取决于经济表现，尤其是美联储最喜欢的指标：核心个人消费支出和总体消费者价格指数。
