Fidelity: Fed rate cuts may benefit DeFi and stablecoins
Fidelity said that the expected rate cut by the Federal Reserve may rekindle major institutions' interest in decentralized finance (DeFi) and stablecoins, provided that infrastructure further develops this year. According to Fidelity's 2024 Digital Asset Outlook report released on January 13th, although institutions were expected to enter DeFi for its returns last year, it did not materialize as they shifted towards "perceived safer" traditional fixed-income products due to the Fed's interest rate hikes. If DeFi returns become more attractive than traditional finance (TradFi) returns again and more advanced infrastructure emerges, institutions may develop a "new interest" in DeFi in 2024.

In the third quarter, Korean retail investors made net purchases of US stocks worth approximately 10.15 trillion won, marking a complete reversal from the previous pattern in the first half of the year, when they made net purchases of nearly 100 trillion won in KOSPI stocks. In September alone, the sell-off amount reached as high as 14.2 trillion won. Analysts attribute this shift to a combination of factors: a sharp decline in KOSPI at high levels, the continued strength of the US stock market driven by AI themes, and the appreciation of the Korean won reducing currency exchange costs.
