US money market fund assets have hit $8T for the first time ever.
And this is a good sign for risk-on assets.
Money-market funds deploy their assets in T-bills and other forms of debt which offer 4%-5% annual debt.
But what if yield goes down?
Well, with Fed rate cut cycle started, this is becoming a reality.
And in this case, investors will look at other options for a better return.
Right now, the biggest asset managers are offering access to crypto, so a good chunk will flow into BTC and alts.
Imagine a 0.5% allocation over the next 12 months; $40B will flow into the crypto markets.
