Updated: Jan 06 2026- Rate Cut Expectations: Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran advocates for over 100 basis points of rate cuts in 2026, contrasting with market expectations of only two cuts, which may lead to a reassessment of future monetary policy in financial markets.
- Current Rate Impact: Following a 25bps cut to 3.5-3.75% on December 10, the Fed's policy is viewed as restrictive to economic growth, and Miran's stance could prompt more aggressive easing measures to stimulate the economy.
- Cryptocurrency Market Reaction: The prospect of potential rate cuts may boost prices of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, as historical policy shifts towards easing have led to significant rallies in the crypto market, indicating a positive impact on risk assets.
- Stablecoin Outlook: Miran's support for stablecoins through the GENIUS Act could spur market growth, with estimates suggesting stablecoin supply may reach $1-3 trillion by 2030, further driving demand and adoption of the U.S. dollar.
