The U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points last week, but that may not have been the biggest news to bitcoin BTC$87,491.03 bulls. The real surprise was the central bank’s announcement to start buying $40 billion in short-term U.S. Treasury bills. That sparked a bullish frenzy in the crypto community, and why not?

In traditional finance, it is a truth universally acknowledged that, when the economy wobbles, investors turn to safe-haven assets like gold. Such assets have a low, or sometimes even negative, correlation to stock markets and other risk assets, and so can protect portfolios when trouble hits.
