Opinion: Although the current round of quantitative tightening in the US will end today, its effects may not become apparent until early next year.

BlockBeats News, on December 1, Into The Cryptoverse CEO Benjamin Cowen posted that in 2019, the Federal Reserve announced that its quantitative tightening policy would end on August 1. However, the Fed's balance sheet continued to decline in August because the final round of Treasury maturity settlements was not completed until mid-August.

Therefore, although this round of quantitative tightening ends on December 1, it does not mean that the balance sheet will immediately begin to improve. It may not be until early 2026 before such changes are observed.
