Crypto Soars as Fed Slashes Rates: Market Surges on Monetary Easing

Digital assets rocket higher as central bank policy shift ignites bullish momentum.

Market Euphoria Takes Hold

Bitcoin leads the charge with double-digit gains, while altcoins follow suit in a broad-based rally that's pushing total market cap toward new heights. Trading volumes spike 40% as institutional money floods into BTC and ETH ETFs.

DeFi Outperforms

Decentralized protocols benefit most from the risk-on environment—yield farming returns jump as liquidity migrates from traditional bonds. Even legacy finance analysts can't ignore the 25% weekly surge in blue-chip tokens.

Regulatory Winds Shift

Policymakers suddenly discover 'innovation' when their bond portfolios tank—how convenient. Meanwhile, real builders keep shipping while Wall Street plays catch-up.

This isn't just a rally—it's a validation. The Fed just handed crypto its best marketing campaign yet, and the market's voting with its wallet. Traditional finance may never recover its monopoly on value creation.

$0.000064 surged past $117,000, with other leading cryptocurrencies also experiencing gains. The market remains focused on projections indicating the Fed may opt for faster rate easing over the next 12 months.

Cryptos React to Fed’s Rate Decision

Following the Fed’s rate cut, Bitcoin climbed approximately 1%, reaching its highest level in a month. Ethereum$0.000076 saw an increase of 2.7%, although it continues to trade within a narrowing four-week price range. Solana$245‘s SOL coin tested the $245 mark, approaching its weekend peak. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange’s (CME) plan to introduce options for SOL and XRP on October 13 has partly driven these movements.

XRP also gained nearly 3%. The technical outlook suggests that the upward trend in altcoins remains intact. Meanwhile, other major cryptocurrencies like BNB and Dogecoin$0.00000005068558 recorded gains exceeding 4%.

Dollar Index and Market Risks

Despite the recovery in cryptocurrencies, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) shows signs of strengthening. The index ROSE to 97.30, distancing itself from its low point earlier in July. This rebound suggests that expectations of rate cuts have largely been priced into currency markets.

DXY

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell emphasized that rapid and successive rate cuts are not guaranteed, asserting that balance sheet reduction continues and inflation remains elevated. Powell’s remarks have supported the DXY’s recovery.
