Impact of Federal Reserve’s Interest Rate Policy and Political Developments

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s suggestion that the Federal Reserve should consider a 50 basis-point rate cut in its September meeting has spurred movement in the crypto markets. Following this statement, altcoins experienced a noticeable rise. Investors generally agree that the possibility of a rate cut by year-end might enhance demand for risky assets. Additionally, President Donald Trump’s directive to regulators to explore adding crypto assets to individual retirement accounts is affecting the sector.

President Trump’s initiative to study the inclusion of cryptocurrency assets in retirement accounts is seen as a structural demand increase for crypto assets, should it materialize.

Ethereum and Bitcoin Performance with ETF Inflows

Ethereum has caught attention this week with nearly a 30% value surge. The quarterly inflows into Ethereum-related investment funds (ETFs) nearing $2 billion for the first time indicate rising investor interest. Furthermore, Bitcoin$119,105 has maintained stability around the $120,000 mark, while Solana$197, BNB, and other altcoins have also shown short-term increases.

Augustine Fan, Director of SignalPlus Insights, noted, “Ethereum stood out, and traditional stock analysts have also joined the FOMO trend. While Bitcoin’s short-term volatility remains at low levels, Ethereum’s short-term volatility has significantly increased. This suggests that investors expect more movement and gains in ethereum shortly.”

Volatility and Market Strategies

In the financial markets, ‘implied volatility’ shows the anticipated future price changes of a crypto asset. Analysts view Bitcoin’s volatility at historically low levels as an indication of stable prices, whereas the increased short-term volatility in Ethereum suggests a growing expectation for upward price movements.

Nick Ruck, Director of LVRG Research, stated, “Ethereum’s breach of $4,600 reflects increasing confidence in institutional adoption. bitcoin holding steady at $119,000 suggests strong demand. The Federal Reserve’s dovish stance and upcoming ETF developments may further enhance Ethereum’s performance.”

The rise in the altcoin market has led to a positive trajectory in Bitcoin as well. Experts suggest that this scenario, unlike previous periods, may indicate a diminished leading role for Bitcoin.

Alex Kuptsikevich of FxPro commented, “The recent rise is unusual because the strengthening of altcoins has lifted Bitcoin. Bitcoin is testing historical highs above $122,000, with the next target possibly in the $135,000-138,000 range. Meanwhile, Ethereum is approaching its record of $4,800.”

Overall, analysts suggest that global macroeconomic conditions and political developments could be decisive in the short-term direction of crypto markets. Increasing demand for ETFs and expectations of interest rate cuts might generate additional price dynamics in crypto assets.
