Bitcoin Spot Accumulation Surge as Fed Cuts Rates
Changes in DeFi market structure have been observed following new Federal Reserve decisions. Bitcoin's on-chain transaction fees fell 8.6% to $2.03 million, reinforcing spot accumulation trends. Investors are moving coins off exchanges, which consequently reduces the available spot supply.

Financial sectors have reacted to this policy shift with strategic asset transfers. Key market players, including Hyperliquid and Lighter, indicate growth within on-chain derivatives. Industry responses suggest anticipation for future market behaviors.
