Federal Reserve Rate Cut and Its Impact on Crypto & Markets

Trump Predicts a Big Move — Markets Brace for a Federal Reserve Rate Cut

President Donald Trump said this weekend that he expects a “big cut” from the Federal Reserve at its meeting this week. He told reporters, “I think you have a big cut… It’s perfect for cutting,” as he returned to Washington.

Analysts say a quarter-point cut could cause short-term volatility but may help crypto and gold over the coming months if easier policy continues.

Why The Fed Is Expected To Cut

Economists and traders widely expect the Federal Reserve to lower its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points at the meeting scheduled for Sept. 17. The FRS faces a slower jobs market and inflation that has not fully cooled, and many observers think a small cut is the path the central bankers will take.
The Fed’s decision is happening under unusual political pressure. The White House has repeatedly pushed for easier policy, and that has raised questions about the Fed’s independence. Still, the FRS must weigh inflation data and job market strength when it votes.

Crypto Market Right Now

Global crypto market cap is about $4.04 trillion today, with 24-hour trading volume running in the low . Bitcoin still dominates more than half of the market. When big central banks ease policy, total crypto liquidity and trading volumes often rise quickly. At the time of writing the BTC and ETH have seen slight highs in the past 24hrs.

• Bitcoin (BTC): $115,484.
• Ethereum (ETH): $4,633.

If the FRS cuts rates, cash yields fall. That makes riskier assets look more attractive because safe accounts pay less. Traders and funds may move some money into bitcoin, ethereum, and other crypto projects to chase returns. In the short term this can raise prices and also cause quick swings.

Why The Native Markets USDH News Matters Now

Separately, Native Markets just claimed the USDH ticker on Hyperliquid and will roll out proposals and an ERC-20 version of the stablecoin. New stablecoins and exchange listings can shift liquidity between sites and tokens, this matters especially if U.S. policy makes more money chasing crypto.

In other words: easier Federal policy + a new stablecoin = more places for traders to park funds.

What To Watch Next

• Fed statement and Chair remarks on Sept. 17 — listen for language about future cuts.
• Bitcoin and Ethereum prices move right after the Fed — big swings possible.
• USDH trading and liquidity flow on Hyperliquid and other exchanges — new stablecoins can change short-term volumes.
