The Federal Reserve's GDP report will be released tonight, and the market has already subtly divided three key levels.

Below 3.1% growth, expectations for rate cuts will immediately heat up, and cryptocurrencies tend to rise accordingly; at 3.2%, it aligns with expectations, and the market may remain cautious; above 3.3%, signals of overheating appear, and risk assets face pressure. This is no secret—every release of US economic data can cause Bitcoin to swing by thousands of dollars within minutes.

It's a bit ironic. The so-called "decentralized" crypto world is actually still tightly controlled by Washington when it comes to price power. CPI, employment data, interest rate expectations... every Federal Reserve move can trigger chain reactions. The entire market is like a puppet manipulated by a single string.

But this also raises a real issue: does your asset allocation include parts that can remain relatively stable amid data fluctuations?

More and more participants are paying attention to decentralized stablecoins as an asset class. The logic is simple—when traditional dollar values fluctuate wildly due to market volatility, an alternative not entirely hostage to a single central bank's policies becomes a kind of risk buffer. It can maintain the convenience of dollar valuation while to some extent escaping the direct influence of centralized monetary policy.

Truly smart traders never put all their chips on a single logic. Including such assets in a diversified portfolio may be a rational choice in the era of "data-driven markets."

Puppet shows are still puppet shows, and I'm already tired of the decentralization rhetoric. --- It's the Federal Reserve again, and GDP again. There's really nothing new in the crypto world. --- Stablecoins? Laughable, still the same old story, ending up being cut again. --- Is there any difference between 3.1 and 3.3? Anyway, it all comes down to Washington's hand in the end. --- Diversified allocation sounds good, but honestly, it's just fear of being beaten by a single data point. --- Predicting like this every time, but the market always loves to do the opposite, I'm already numb. --- So the essence of asset allocation is to bet that the Federal Reserve will be wrong? That's interesting. --- Decentralized stablecoins? I don't believe you.

Just a puppet, when the Federal Reserve moves, everything moves; decentralization is just so-so. --- If it's 3.2%, then just watch the show, nothing much can be done anyway. --- Honestly, stablecoins really need to be allocated properly; don’t put all your eggs in one basket. --- Jokes aside, we still have to dance to Washington’s rhythm, haha. --- Within a few minutes of data release, the coin price swings by thousands of dollars; this game is getting a bit tiring. --- Diversification sounds good, but ultimately, you can't escape the Federal Reserve's grip. --- Below 3.1%, it's directly bullish; this rule has been played out long ago. --- Instead of waiting for data, why not just allocate some stablecoins for insurance.

Decentralization? Laughable. Honestly, it's still being led around by the data from the Federal Reserve.

Once again, we're being played by GDP data. Do they really think we're just leeks? Honestly, the facade of decentralization has long been seen through, and we're still tightly controlled by Washington. What to do? We need to accelerate our stablecoin allocations. Wait, isn't the task to write a comment... I do agree with this logic, but it sounds like I'm advertising, doesn't it? Let's wait until the data comes out tonight. Anyway, I'm already prepared to cut losses.

This article is right, when the dollar appreciates or depreciates, our coins have to dance along... --- Same old story, as soon as the GDP data is released, the entire market starts to shake... --- Decentralization is a joke; in the end, it still depends on Powell's mood to eat. --- Stablecoins are indeed somewhat useful, at least you don't have to worry every day. --- Really? A report can move thousands of dollars? I need to see if there will be a bloodbath tonight. --- Diversification is indeed a defensive measure, but the problem is most people simply can't do it. --- Puppet is not wrong, but puppets can also make money; those who understand how to eat have already prepared. --- I just want to know if the Fed people will cause another wave tonight. --- Basically, it's just American control, what about decentralization... haha.
