Return of Zero Interest Rate Policy as Swiss Central Bank Cuts Rates

In a move that sent ripples through global finance, the Swiss National Bank just slashed rates back to zero—proving even central bankers miss the 'free money' era.

The rate cut heard 'round the world

No fancy economic jargon here: when Switzerland's monetary overlords flip the cheap-money switch, crypto traders start licking their chops. Suddenly those 'risky' digital assets look a whole lot safer than negative-yielding francs.

Deja vu for the crypto bulls

Last time rates hit zero, Bitcoin ran from $4K to $69K. Now with the SNB joining the dovish parade, decentralized finance might just get its second wind. Funny how traditional finance keeps creating perfect conditions for its own disruption.

One cynical take? Central banks have become the ultimate crypto marketing teams—every cut makes Satoshi's vision look more prescient. The harder they try to control markets, the more they prove we need alternatives.
