U.S. mortgage rates just hit a three-year low. We're talking 6.06%—the cheapest borrowing in nearly three years, down from 6.16% the previous week, per Freddie Mac's data. What's driving the shift? The Trump administration's $200 billion directive aimed at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to increase mortgage bond purchases. That capital injection pushed rates downward, signaling a shift in the traditional finance landscape. For crypto and Web3 observers, this matters. Lower mortgage rates typically ease pressure on assets and can influence broader capital flows across markets. When traditional finance loosens credit conditions, it often ripples through alternative asset classes. Keep an eye on how this policy plays out—mortgage accessibility and lending conditions shape market sentiment beyond just housing.

When traditional finance loosens up, funds will inevitably flow into alt assets. This could really be a turning point.

The policy easing is back again. Whenever traditional finance loosens up, it's clear that the crypto world is about to stir... The key still depends on the flow of funds.

Traditional finance relaxes a bit and people start to go wild—it's really interesting... Won't these funds ultimately flow into crypto? Let's wait and see.

Traditional finance injects liquidity, so how does on-chain capital move? This round of low-interest policies will indeed divert some hot money; we need to keep a close watch.

When traditional finance loosens up, on-chain funds start to move... This $200B operation is indeed extraordinary, gotta keep an eye on it.

Oh wow, when 20 billion is poured in, the interest rates plummet. I've seen this trick too many times... Once traditional finance loosens up, the on-chain money should be eager to move.

Traditional finance loosens up, and funds start flowing into alternatives. This time, how much will the mortgage rate cut help divert some hot money from the crypto space... worth paying attention to.

Wow, 6.06%? Traditional finance is flooding the market again, and this time it's the mortgage loans.
