Improving monetary conditions, rising odds of Federal Reserve easing, and renewed institutional support are setting the stage for a potential crypto upswing.
A December recovery in digital assets may be taking shape as liquidity conditions improve and the probability of Federal Reserve rate cuts climbs sharply. Analysts point to a combination of macroeconomic tailwinds and renewed institutional engagement that could help lift Bitcoin and the broader crypto market from recent lows.
Fed Rate Cut Outlook Signals Support for Risk Assets
Market expectations for a Federal Reserve rate reduction have surged, with odds approaching 93% on major prediction platforms. A shift toward monetary easing historically benefits risk assets by lowering borrowing costs and increasing liquidity—conditions that tend to strengthen Bitcoin’s performance.
Coinbase’s latest market note highlights how these expectations, now reflected in futures and prediction markets, are shaping investor sentiment heading into the final month of the year.
Liquidity Indicators Turn Positive
According to Coinbase’s internal metrics, particularly its M2 liquidity index, monetary flows are beginning to trend upward after a weak November. The firm previously anticipated this pattern, expecting liquidity improvement to drive stronger price action in December. Early signs appear to confirm that projection.
A weaker U.S. dollar is also contributing to more favorable conditions for global risk markets, further strengthening the case for a late-year rebound.
Institutional Momentum Builds
Recent developments among major financial institutions have supported Bitcoin’s move off its monthly lows. Highlights include:
- A policy reversal allowing crypto ETF exposure at a leading asset manager
- Approval for wealth advisers at a major U.S. bank to allocate up to 4% of client portfolios to digital assets
These shifts reflect growing acceptance of crypto within mainstream portfolios, adding structural demand at a key moment for market sentiment.
