Commerce Secretary Lutnick just weighed in on a real pain point—housing affordability for the younger generation. His take? Interest rates need to come down so young people can actually afford to buy homes without getting crushed by debt.
This is the kind of policy chatter that matters in the crypto space. When traditional assets like real estate become less accessible due to high rates, capital flows shift. Lower rates typically ease up on monetary conditions, which historically can redirect investment appetite toward alternative assets. It's not about predicting the market—it's about understanding the macro backdrop that shapes where money moves.
The housing crisis isn't new, but when top officials start publicly talking about rate adjustments as a solution, it signals what's on the policy radar. Whether this actually leads to rate cuts depends on the Fed's broader strategy, but the conversation itself tells you something about current priorities.

The expectation of interest rate cuts is here, and funds need to find an outlet... The real estate sector is stuck, and this money will ultimately flow into crypto.

Hmm... the expectation of interest rate cuts is back again. I'm tired of this rhetoric. Can the housing prices really be saved by interest rate cuts? It just feels like a prelude to inflating asset bubbles.

As soon as the expectation of interest rate cuts emerges, the flow of funds into alternative assets starts to stir... Real estate is stuck, so where will the money flow to?

Is the expectation of interest rate cuts coming again? What to do if you can't afford a house, now that's the real pain point.
