John C. Williams, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, has suggested the possibility of a rate cut ahead of the September 2025 FOMC meeting. This potential shift in monetary policy could have a significant impact on crypto markets as historically lower interest rates have been linked to increased investor risk appetite and capital flow into digital assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). A probability exceeding 80% for a 25bps rate cut has fueled speculation about the market effect. The Fed’s decision will likely influence both Bitcoin and Ethereum prices as investors often react to anticipated changes in interest rates, historical data showing increased activity in DeFi TVL growth and asset price increases following similar monetary policy actions.
