š Ray Dalio Warns Fed Bubble Could Send Gold, Bitcoin Soaring ā Then Implode
The billionaire investor and Bridgewater Associates founder argues that the Fedās shift from balance sheet reduction to expansion represents a classic late-stage debt cycle dynamic that could drive gold and Bitcoin dramatically higher before an inevitable collapse.
TheĀ Fed announcedĀ that it would end quantitative tightening, effective December 1, 2025, transitioning to balance sheet maintenance at $6.5 trillion, while redirecting agency security income into Treasury bills rather than mortgage-backed securities.
Dalio views this as more than a ātechnical maneuver,ā as officials describe it, particularly as the shift occurs alongside large fiscal deficits and strong private credit creation.
