Bitcoin News Update: Decentralized tBTC Bridge Competes with Centralized Alternatives in the Battle for Bitcoin Liquidity

Global markets are experiencing multiple transformative catalysts supporting the recovery of risk assets. For instance, Trump has revived his proposal to distribute $2000 "tariff dividend" checks to every American using tariff revenues. While the plan faces hurdles such as congressional approval and inflationary concerns, it has already boosted consumer confidence and is expected to inject trillions of dollars in liquidity, benefitting high-growth technology sectors. Meanwhile, the U.S. government shutdown has reached a record 41 days. With the Senate having reached an agreement, it's expected to end on November 11—potentially triggering a renewed fiscal injection of tens of billions of dollars and a V-shaped rebound similar to past shutdown recoveries. Market expectations for a rate cut at the Federal Reserve's December FOMC meeting are also rising, with a 62.6% probability priced in for a 25-basis-point cut. Some Trump-backed officials even advocate for a 50-basis-point reduction, which would extend the easing cycle and further stimulate investment in crypto and AI infrastructure. Together, these factors may drive a 5–10% rebound in total crypto market capitalization, creating a window of opportunity for allocation to high-quality projects.
