Economists anticipate the Federal Reserve will likely reduce interest rates by 25 basis points at its upcoming meeting scheduled for September 16-17, 2025. This prediction is based on current market trends and expert analysis. The anticipation of a more moderate rate cut has led to increased expectations for positive effects on crypto asset prices. The Federal Reserve’s decisions significantly influence the cryptocurrency landscape, particularly Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Historically, lower interest rates have driven up risk appetite in crypto markets. 2023 saw a similar trend with increased DeFi activity fueled by previous rate cuts in 2022. Similar patterns may emerge in this upcoming cycle. However, the exact effects remain to be seen.
