Fed rate cut cycle begins: HTX offers 0% interest loans and low-fee campaign to help users easily capitalize
Huobi HTX has launched four limited-time activities to help users efficiently allocate assets and reduce trading costs amid market fluctuations, serving as a "launch accelerator" for newcomers and a "returns amplifier" for experienced traders.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsAt 2:00 AM on September 18, the Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point rate cut, lowering rates to a range of 4.00%–4.25%. This marks the Fed's first rate cut since December 2024.
Rate Cut Signal Sounds, Crypto Market Reacts Immediately
Chloe, a researcher at HTX Research (@ChloeTalk1), analyzed that dovish comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell boosted risk asset sentiment. On September 18, Bitcoin and Ethereum rose slightly first, followed by capital rotation into altcoins. As of 14:00 on September 19, SOL broke above the $250 threshold, daily trading volume on decentralized exchanges surged to $2.5 billion; BNB surpassed $1,000, with total value locked (TVL) on the BSC chain increasing nearly 10% this week; HTX reached its highest level since January this year, hitting $0.000002664.
In the short term, although market sentiment was lifted by the dovish tone, the magnitude of the rate cut fell short of expectations. After the announcement, some capital took profits, suggesting a potential "sell the news" scenario. However, the rate cut provides tangible medium- to long-term support for the cryptocurrency market. Even if the cut is smaller than expected, the overall policy direction remains accommodative. Particularly after Powell’s speech in the early hours of that day, major institutions have reached a consensus on another Fed rate cut in October. Thus, the trend of declining funding costs remains unchanged, and the logic of improved market liquidity and rising risk appetite still holds. Bitcoin’s narrative as an inflation hedge and safe-haven asset, along with the growing institutional allocation trend, will not reverse due to a single underwhelming rate cut.
Nonetheless, Chloe also cautioned that while the market widely expects the easing cycle to continue through the year, the Fed emphasized that future actions depend on employment and inflation data, and core inflation remains above target levels. This stance indicates ongoing policy uncertainty—favorable for digital assets’ short-term rebound, but should inflation spike or employment deteriorate unexpectedly, it could trigger a “sell the news” reaction.
Four Bonus Campaigns to Master the Eve of the Bull Run
Market热度 and capital activity have clearly intensified. How to seize structural opportunities amid volatility has become a key focus for investors. On one hand, the rate-cut cycle may propel the crypto market into a new round of valuation recovery; on the other, improved liquidity and sectoral capital rotation further highlight the importance of diversified tools such as futures, spot, and wealth management products.
To this end, HTX has launched four limited-time campaigns to help users efficiently allocate assets and reduce trading costs during market shifts—acting as a “launch accelerator” for newcomers and a “profit amplifier” for experienced traders.
Campaign One: Multi-Currency Collateralized Lending with 0% Interest
From September 23, 12:00 to October 8, 12:00 (UTC+8), users who utilize the multi-currency collateralized lending feature—by pooling 30 mainstream assets including USDT, USDC, ETH, and SOL—with a single order amount ≥ 5,000 USDT, can borrow 18 popular assets such as BTC, DOGE, and ETC at zero cost. This perfectly addresses the core pain point of long-term holders who “don’t want to sell their coins but need liquidity.”
