Following the key <a href="https://u.today/bitcoin-surges-as-fed-goes-for-massive-rate-cut">interest rate cut</a> announced by the U.S. Federal Reserve last week, the Chinese Central Bank's (PBOC) governor made an announcement about similar steps to be taken by China.
Many crypto influencers and financial experts on the X social media platform (famous as Twitter until 2023) now believe that this Chinese rate cut is likely to confirm Bitcoin's bullish curve in the near future and fuel its further growth.

Today, head of the Bank of China <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/09/24/chinas-central-bank-chief-set-to-hold-press-conference-days-after-fed-rate-cut.html">Pan Gongsheng stated</a> that PBOC will cut the seven-day repo rate by 0.2 percentage points. Aside from that, the governor said that the reserve requirement ratio (RRR) for local banks will see a decrease by 50 basis points.
The governor did not indicate any more or less exact timing for implementing those supportive economic measures, but he assured attendees of the press conference that it would certainly happen soon.
He added that depending on further economic conditions, the central bank may add another cut of 0.25 or 0.5 basis points by the end of the year.
Markets in China had been expecting a much smaller rate cut, namely, 10 basis points. The chief economist for greater China ING, Lynn Song, called this “a slightly stronger than expected move.”
Angel investor, entrepreneur and <a href="https://u.today/bitcoin-btc-blackrock-victory-commented-on-by-top-bitcoiner-angel-investor">Bitcoin supporter Anthony Pompliano</a> commented on that strategic move by the PBOC, saying that he would expect a large inflow of cheap capital onto markets after the Chinese rate cut: “Cheap capital is going to flood the market from around the world.” He added that “asset prices are going to be large beneficiaries.”
Acropolis cofounder Mason Carter commented on that, saying that he expects Bitcoin to surpass other assets on the market.

Many Bitcoin enthusiasts on X also believe that China will support the Bitcoin price's further surge by implementing the interest rate cut.
