The meeting minutes released by the Federal Reserve on Wednesday contained a detail that is easily overlooked. During last month's interest rate meeting, officials began to regard capital expenditures driven by AI investments as one of the important factors that could push up prices when discussing the inflation outlook, along with risks such as the situation in the Middle East and tariffs. Journalist Nick Timiraos, often referred to as the "new Fed correspondent," also noted this shift—AI investment, which had rarely appeared in discussions a few months ago, has now entered the Federal Reserve's focus.
The wording in the original minutes is relatively restrained: "Several participants commented that price pressures have become more widespread, with a large portion of goods and services experiencing significant increases." However, the market is more concerned about the implications behind this. If AI-related capital expenditures continue to elevate corporate investment and price levels, the Federal Reserve's room to maintain interest rates unchanged may further narrow, and expectations for interest rate hikes may reignite.
For the cryptocurrency market, this logic is not unfamiliar. In the past few years, whenever expectations for interest rate hikes strengthen, risk assets often come under pressure first, and Bitcoin and mainstream cryptocurrencies also find it hard to remain unscathed. But this time is different; the changes in inflation expectations are driven not only by supply chain issues, energy, or consumer demand, but also by the sustained investment in AI infrastructure. Tech giants like Nvidia, Microsoft, and Amazon are continuously increasing capital expenditures, and AI investment is gradually evolving from an enterprise strategy into an important variable impacting the macroeconomy. This new transmission path is causing the market to re-evaluate the correlation between technology assets and risk assets.
Many traders are beginning to rethink their asset allocation strategies. If the correlation between the cryptocurrency market and the tech sector of the U.S. stock market remains at a high level, then relying solely on one market may signify a higher volatility risk. Against this backdrop, cross-asset allocation has once again become a focal point of market discussions. Rather than shifting towards traditional assets, it is more about adding more adjustable options to the portfolio in a macro environment with significant uncertainty.
In response to such demand, some digital asset trading platforms have also begun to expand their product boundaries. For example, MGBX launched a TradFi perpetual contract area on May 27, allowing users to participate in trading traditional financial assets such as U.S. stocks, indices, precious metals, crude oil, and foreign exchange through USDT for unified settlement, operating 24/7 with a minimum investment of just 1 USDT. There is no need to open a separate securities account or exchange currencies back and forth; one account can cover positions in both crypto and traditional assets, allowing operations even during off-hours of the traditional market. These products do not change the trading logic but provide more asset classes within the same platform, thus offering users with cross-market allocation needs an additional choice.
Of course, this does not mean that traditional financial assets are a natural safe haven. If the Federal Reserve tightens monetary policy again due to inflationary pressures in the future, markets such as U.S. stocks or commodities may also be affected. Cross-asset allocation can help diversify risks but cannot eliminate them, especially when using leveraged products, as both gains and losses will be magnified simultaneously; investors should still participate cautiously according to their own risk tolerance.
What might be worth continuous attention, rather than short-term market fluctuations, is whether AI investments will continue to be repeatedly mentioned in future interest rate meetings. If this factor gradually becomes a significant variable influencing monetary policy judgments, then its effects will not be limited to the tech sector but might further transmit to global capital markets, and the pricing logic of risk assets, including the digital asset market, may also undergo new changes.
