Bitcoin Could Gain if Fed Backstops the $75 Trillion Equity Market
The post Bitcoin Could Gain if Fed Backstops the $75 Trillion Equity Market appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News Bitcoin (BTC) could be an unexpected beneficiary if the U.S. Federal Reserve is eventually forced to buy equity exchange-traded funds to defend a sliding stock market, according to analysts weighing an increasingly discussed scenario. The argument rests on the sheer size of the U.S. equity market — now roughly $75 trillion — which many view as too large and too systemically important to be left in a prolonged bear market. Should the central bank step in with fresh liquidity, risk assets and altcoins have historically absorbed the overflow. Our reading is that any such intervention would echo the 2021 easing cycle that lifted crypto broadly and reset risk appetite across the board. The backdrop is a stock market that has expanded at a pace few expected. U.S. equities have grown about 68% over the past five years and added roughly $6 trillion in value this year alo
