Definition ∞ Global interest rates represent the prevailing costs of borrowing funds and the returns on savings across various national and international financial markets. These rates are influenced by central bank policies, inflation expectations, and economic growth projections worldwide. In digital asset markets, global interest rates can affect investor sentiment and the appeal of decentralized lending protocols compared to traditional savings vehicles. Higher global rates might draw capital away from speculative digital assets.
Context ∞ The current discussion regarding global interest rates centers on their influence on capital allocation within both traditional and digital asset markets. Debates frequently concern how central bank actions, such as rate increases, affect liquidity and risk preference for cryptocurrencies. Future market assessments will increasingly consider the correlation between macroeconomic interest rate environments and the performance of various digital asset classes. This will inform investment strategies and hazard evaluations.
