🌍 Global Economy 2026: Why the crypto market can no longer ignore macroeconomics

For years, the crypto market moved like an almost isolated system, driven mainly by internal cycles, narrative, and speculative liquidity. Today, that paradigm has changed. In 2026, global macroeconomics is one of the main drivers of crypto market behavior.

📉 Inflation, interest rates, and liquidity: the key triangle

Central banks have entered a phase of more surgical monetary policy. We are no longer just talking about "raising or lowering rates," but about active liquidity management:

• Real interest rates: when kept positive, they reduce the appeal of risk assets, including cryptocurrencies.

• Central bank balance (QT vs QE): liquidity contraction tends to put downward pressure on speculative assets; expansion favors bullish cycles.

• Expectations, not events: markets move by anticipation. Bitcoin often reacts before actual changes in monetary policy.

👉 Partial conclusion: Bitcoin is no longer just an "alternative asset," but a leading indicator of global financial conditions.
