Liquiditeit keert langzaam terug.

Fed turns the liquidity tap back on.

The US central bank lowered interest rates this week and has resumed purchasing government bonds. This officially marks the end of monetary tightening and the start of an easing phase. Historically, this is a positive signal for financial markets. Lower rates and additional liquidity reduce financing costs and make it easier for capital to flow toward risk assets, including equities and crypto.

More importantly, this represents a clear policy shift. After years of focusing on slowing the economy, the Fed is now once again prioritizing growth. That changes the underlying dynamics of the market.

US banks accept Bitcoin as collateral.

The largest banks in the United States have started offering loans backed by Bitcoin as collateral. Institutions such as Bank of America, BNY Mellon, Wells Fargo, JP Morgan, Schwab and Citi are participating. This marks a turning point. Banks only lend against assets they trust in terms of value and liquidity, and Bitcoin now clearly falls into that category.

For Bitcoin, this means a new role within the financial system. Not just as an investment asset, but as fully recognized financial collateral. This accelerates institutional adoption and strengthens Bitcoin’s position within traditional finance.

Coinbase opens direct access to Solana tokens.

Coinbase announced that all tokens on Solana are now directly tradable within the Coinbase app. Individual listings are no longer required. This is a major step in distribution. Projects built on Solana automatically gain access to one of the world’s largest retail platforms, significantly lowering the barrier for users to discover new applications and tokens.

For Solana, this reinforces its role as scalable infrastructure for the digital economy. The network is not only being used technically, but is now directly connected to global retail distribution.
