Is the US economy about to take off? This prediction is pretty bold.

National Economic Council Director Hassett recently made a statement: barring any surprises, the economy could really see a highlight moment next year. He gave specific numbers—a 3% growth in both Q1 and Q2—and also hinted that the Fed is about to start cutting rates, saying now is a "good time for a cautious rate cut."

The market reacted immediately. According to CME data, traders are betting heavily on a 25 basis point rate cut in December, with the probability surging to 86.2%. The chance of maintaining the current rate has dropped to just 13.8%.

The key moment is approaching—

At 3:00 AM Beijing time on Thursday, December 11, the Fed will announce its latest interest rate decision. Half an hour later, Powell will hold a press conference. The market generally expects rates to fall from 4.00% to 3.75%.

Honestly, this round of predictions does sound optimistic. Whether the US economy can really enter a "golden year" still depends on the actual data. But with such strong rate cut expectations, it's definitely a signal for the crypto market—lower traditional capital costs could benefit risk assets.

ETH's recent price action has also been focused on macro factors. If a rate cut happens, improved liquidity expectations would be a supporting factor for the price. Of course, it still depends on what the Fed says at the meeting and whether subsequent economic data can support this 3% growth forecast.

Do you think this rate cut will really happen? How big of an impact will it have on the crypto market?
