Swiss National Bank cuts the rates to zero marking a return of ZIRP policy

A Covid-Era feature that characterized the bull earlier in all corners of the financial markets including Bitcoin

has made a comeback in Switzerland, one of the world’s most economic power centers.

The Swiss National Bank (SNB) reduced its interest rate to zero on Thursday to address falling inflation and appreciate Swiss Franc (CHF) and financial uncertainty caused by President Donald Trump’s trade war.

Return to zero comes as tariffs threaten to empty nations with trade surpluses, such as Switzerland and China.

The latest rate cut is Bank’s sixth equal movement since it began to reduce borrowing costs in March 2024.

SNB’s return to Zero may be a sign of things coming across Europe and other advanced nations. A broad -based return to zero interest policy (ZIRP) can bode well for Bitcoin.
