Fed Announces Interest Rate Decision: How Did Bitcoin React?
The Fed announced its expected interest rate decision on September 17, 2025, lowering the interest rate by 25 basis points to a range of 4.00%-4.25% for the first time since December 2024. While the decision aligns with general market expectations, Bitcoin briefly reacted to the news, rising above $116,000, but is currently trading at $115,544. The crypto markets are focused on signals regarding the Fed's future policies, beyond the interest rate cut.
Differences of opinion among Fed members regarding the end of the year are noteworthy. While 9 out of 19 members expect two more rate cuts during the year, 2 foresee only one cut. 6 members stated that they do not expect additional cuts; the remaining members did not provide a clear forecast. This indicates that uncertainties continue in the Fed's monetary policy and that the market needs more guidance from Powell.
Crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe highlighted the impact of interest rate cuts on the markets, stating, "The fun begins: a 25 basis point rate cut! This is already priced in for Bitcoin and altcoins. The main thing to watch will be Powell’s comments regarding the future." Poppe's remarks indicate that the cut was not a surprise and that the real determinant will be the messages delivered by Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
Therefore, crypto investors will focus not only on interest rate decisions but also on the Fed's projections for the economic outlook and monetary policy. In particular, Powell's hints about inflation, growth, and employment could directly affect both traditional markets and cryptocurrencies.
