Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, has once again drawn attention to liquidity as the ultimate fuel for crypto rallies. According to Hayes, once the U.S. Treasury General Account (TGA) hits its $850B target, liquidity will be free to flow back into private markets — setting the stage for crypto to enter “up only” mode.
What’s Happening:
TGA Balance Rising: The Treasury’s account already sits above $807B, closing in on the $850B mark. Until it’s filled, capital remains locked away and out of markets. Once complete, the liquidity drain ends, freeing cash back into financial assets.
Fed Rate Cuts Begin: The Federal Reserve cut rates by 25bps this week — the first cut since 2024. Markets expect another 25–50bps cut in October, with futures pricing in a more dovish path ahead.
Liquidity Cycles & Bitcoin: While some analysts, like Bitwise’s André Dragosch, downplay the tight correlation between net liquidity and Bitcoin, history shows BTC thrives during easing cycles and liquidity expansions.
Market Implications:
Bitcoin ($BTC $115,700): Briefly dipped below $115K on the Fed cut (“sell the news”), but macro liquidity tailwinds suggest a move toward $130K–$150K as liquidity returns.
Ethereum (ETH): Poised to benefit both from macro liquidity and its upcoming Fusaka upgrade. $ETH remains on track for $5K–$6K once flows accelerate.
Altcoins & DeFi: Liquidity expansion favors high-beta assets. As institutional inflows build and yields compress, capital is likely to rotate aggressively into altcoins and DeFi for higher returns.
Speculative Outlook:
Once the TGA fill completes, the Fed’s dovish pivot could align perfectly with a crypto risk-on wave.
Every dip into support zones may become an accumulation opportunity ahead of a liquidity-fueled breakout.
Bitcoin to $150K, ETH to $6K, Solana to $400+ remain realistic scenarios if institutional money accelerates alongside Fed easing.
Investor Takeaway: Liquidity is the oxygen of bull markets. With the Treasury near its $850B target and the Fed resuming rate cuts, crypto markets are setting up for the next parabolic leg higher. The playbook is clear: position before the floodgates open.

While Australia Eyes Crypto ATM Crackdown
The crypto world is holding its breath again — and this time, it’s not because of a crash, but because Bitcoin may be running out of steam.
According to Glassnode, Bitcoin’s recent slowdown could spell trouble unless a “fresh catalyst” sparks renewed excitement among investors. Trading just above $110,000, $BTC is now 5% below the key $117K resistance, a level analysts say could determine whether the market stabilizes or slides deeper.
“Without something new to lift prices, we could see a contraction toward the lower range,” Glassnode warned — pointing to rising profit-taking among long-term holders, a classic sign of demand fatigue.
But not everyone’s bracing for doom. Hyblock Capital CEO Shubh Varma predicts a volatile but promising month ahead, with BTC potentially bouncing between $116K– $120K, supported by strong ETF inflows — nearly $6 billion over the past nine days.

What could reignite the rally?
Federal Reserve rate cuts expected later this month (95.7% probability)
Healthy spot trading volumes
Institutional buying pressure building again
And for the optimists — 21Shares strategist Matt Mena says the year-end setup looks “increasingly constructive,” with a possible surge to $150,000 as easing monetary policy and structural demand align.
Meanwhile, across the Pacific — Australia is tightening its grip on crypto infrastructure.
Cybersecurity Minister Tony Burke is proposing new laws to let AUSTRAC ban or restrict crypto ATMs, calling them a “high-risk product” amid money-laundering fears.
The irony? Australia now ranks #3 globally for crypto ATMs, with over 2,000 machines, up from just 67 in 2022.
Providers like Coinflip argue they already follow strict KYC, ID checks, and blockchain monitoring, but regulators say scams and untraceable funds remain a big red flag.
“Not everyone using a crypto ATM is a problem,” Burke admitted, “but proportionately, what’s happening is significant — and hard for us to trace.”
The broader takeaway:
Bitcoin’s rally may be stalling short-term, but macro tailwinds are still bullish.
Regulation, not innovation, is once again testing crypto’s resilience.
The next few weeks could decide whether Bitcoin reloads for $150K — or retreats for a reset.

Asia woke up to a cautious market tone today as Bitcoin slipped under $110,000, losing momentum after the U.S. Federal Reserve’s long-awaited rate cut left investors guessing what comes next.
The Fed trimmed rates by 25 basis points to 3.75%–4%, marking its first cut in months. But Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s guarded tone quickly cooled optimism — and risk assets, including crypto, turned lower.
“Everyone expected a bump, but the market keeps selling off,” said Maja Vujinovic, CEO of FG Nexus. “Powell wasn’t dovish enough. Traders wanted clarity, not caution.”
The Fed Cut — But Confidence Didn’t Follow
Powell warned that the government shutdown is blocking key data on jobs and inflation, making it harder to gauge policy. That uncertainty sent Treasury yields up and gave the U.S. dollar a lift, pulling liquidity out of crypto in the process.
$BTC is down 1.7%, trading near $110,600, while $ETH slipped to $3,930. The total crypto market cap dipped below $3.83 trillion, reflecting a pause in momentum after weeks of speculative buying.
Asian Markets Mirror the Mood
Stocks in Japan and Australia opened lower, tracking overnight weakness in U.S. futures after Meta’s expense warning and slower Microsoft Azure growth rattled Wall Street.
Meanwhile, traders are eyeing two major global events:
The Bank of Japan’s meeting on Thursday — likely keeping rates steady at 0.5%.
A Trump–Xi summit in South Korea, where a limited trade truce could cool tariff tensions and shift risk appetite.
Analysts Say This Is Just a Pause
Despite the short-term pullback, some analysts see opportunity brewing.
“We’re in the early phase of a cutting cycle,” said Greg Magadini, Director of Derivatives at Amberdata. “Once liquidity truly eases, crypto will rally — and volatility will fade.”
He added that the end of the Fed’s quantitative tightening (QT) in December could be a turning point for all risk assets, crypto included.
Investor Sentiment: Wait and Watch
The message is clear — traders are de-risking until the Fed gives a firmer signal. But the setup remains constructive for long-term investors.
With inflation slowing and liquidity cycles shifting, crypto markets may be entering the calm before the next major breakout.
“The market didn’t buy the Fed’s promise — it sold the uncertainty,” said one trader. “But uncertainty always plants the seeds of the next rally.”
Takeaway:
Bitcoin’s dip below $110K isn’t a crash — it’s hesitation. With global liquidity about to rise and QT ending soon, patience may pay off for those watching the macro tides closely.
