According to @cz_binance, the question refers to whether quantitative easing (QE) may be back on the table, as he replied to an X post by The Kobeissi Letter, highlighting a potential shift in central-bank liquidity that traders watch closely for crypto impact (source: CZ on X; The Kobeissi Letter on X). QE is defined by the Federal Reserve as large-scale asset purchases that expand the central bank’s balance sheet, increase bank reserves, and put downward pressure on longer-term interest rates to ease financial conditions (source: Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). Crypto traders monitor USD liquidity proxies such as the Fed’s Total Assets in the H.4.1 release and the U.S. Treasury General Account (TGA), which mechanically add or drain bank reserves and can influence risk appetite for digital assets like BTC, ETH, and BNB (source: Federal Reserve H.4.1 statistical release; U.S. Department of the Treasury Daily Statement). Historically, balance-sheet expansion and lower term premia have been associated with easier financial conditions and stronger risk-taking across assets, which traders often interpret as supportive for crypto, though outcomes are not guaranteed and correlations can shift (source: Federal Reserve research on asset purchases and term premia; Bank for International Settlements research on global liquidity and risk assets). Trading checklist: track the weekly Fed balance sheet (H.4.1), the TGA path and bill/coupon mix in Treasury updates, and upcoming FOMC communications to verify any actual move toward QE or liquidity facilities before positioning in BTC, ETH, and higher-beta altcoins (source: Federal Reserve; U.S. Department of the Treasury). Until an official policy signal is evident, treat QE talk as a liquidity watch theme, not a confirmed catalyst, and manage leverage and funding-rate exposure accordingly in crypto derivatives (source: Federal Reserve policy communications archive; CME derivatives market references).

According to @godbole17, crypto’s intense fixation on USD liquidity and the Federal Reserve underscores the need to base trade setups on macro liquidity signals rather than narratives, source: @godbole17 on X, Nov 20, 2025. Traders can operationalize this by tracking net liquidity proxies including the Federal Reserve balance sheet (H.4.1), the Treasury General Account (TGA), and the Overnight Reverse Repo Facility (ON RRP), which together reflect dollar availability to markets, source: Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System H.4.1; U.S. Department of the Treasury Daily Treasury Statement; Federal Reserve Bank of New York Open Market Operations data. Policy expectations that drive risk appetite can be monitored via fed funds futures and CME FedWatch to gauge the market-implied path of rates, supporting timing for crypto entries and hedges, source: CME Group Fed Funds Futures; CME FedWatch Tool. Augment macro reads with crypto-native liquidity gauges such as stablecoin net issuance, perpetual futures funding rates, and open interest to assess directional pressure and potential liquidation risk, source: Coin Metrics network data; Glassnode Insights; Deribit and Binance derivatives market data. For trade management, align position sizing and leverage with changes in these liquidity indicators around FOMC communications and weekly balance-sheet updates to reduce volatility shocks, source: Federal Reserve Board FOMC calendar; Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System H.4.1 release schedule.
