US Fed Slashes Interest Rates by 25 BPS: How Will Bitcoin’s Price React?
For feedback or concerns regarding this content, please contact us at crypto.news@mexc.com
In line with most expectations and its hint last month, the US Federal Reserve made the first interest rate cut for 2025, reducing it by 25 bps.
Most market commentators believed crypto and the rest of the financial markets had already priced in this cut, so it would be interesting to follow how BTC will react in the following hours and days.
Recall that the primary cryptocurrency exploded in late August during and after Jerome Powell’s speech from Jackson Hole, when the Fed chair hinted that the US central bank would finally cut the rates.
Experts anticipated a 25 bps rate reduction during the subsequent FOMC meeting, which took place yesterday and today.
BTC had climbed in the past several days in anticipation of the Fed’s announcement and even jumped to a four-week peak of $117,200 earlier today. However, it slumped in the following hours by almost two grand.
So far, its reaction to the actual interest rate reduction has been rather muted, as it continues to trade at around $116,000, where it was minutes before the announcement.
If that continues to be the case in the following few days, it would prove the theory that the markets had already priced in this rate cut.

Over 1.1 Million XRPL Wallets Hold $51.7 Million in Dormant XRP Token
The post Over 1.1 Million XRPL Wallets Hold $51.7 Million in Dormant XRP Token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XPMarket CEO identifies 538,586 wallets holding 20 XRP token minimum reserve balances Combined dormant accounts total 1.13 million wallets with 16.7 million XRP tokens Historical reserve reductions from 20 to 1 XRP leave legacy balances untouched On-chain analysis reveals that more than 1.1 million XRP Ledger wallets contain dormant balances totaling $51.7 million in idle XRP tokens. Dr. Artur Kirjakulov, co-founder and CEO of analytical platform XPMarket, identified this pattern while examining wallet distribution across the XRPL network. Data shows 538,586 wallets currently hold exactly 20 XRP tokens, valued at approximately $62 each at current prices near $3.10. These accounts comprise 7.64% of the total 7,048,872 wallets active on the XRP Ledger, making 20 XRP the second most common wallet balance across the network. 538,586 wallets on XRPL have exactly 20 XRP 20 XRP was the minimum reserve from 2013 to 2021. That’s 10.7 million XRP sitting in these wallets. — Dr. Artur Kirjakulov (@Kirjakulov) September 17, 2025 XRP Reserve Requirement Changes Leave Legacy Balances The prevalence of 20 XRP balances traces back to historical reserve requirements that have been reduced multiple times as XRP’s price increased. Originally, XRPL required 20 XRP as the minimum reserve for wallet activation, but community votes have progressively lowered this threshold. In September 2021, XRPL validators reduced the base reserve requirement from 20 XRP to 10 XRP when the token traded around $1.20, making the requirement worth approximately $12 at that time. The network implemented another reduction in December 2024, cutting the reserve from 10 XRP to 1 XRP following XRP’s price surge above $2. XRPL Stats data indicates that 10 XRP represents the most common wallet balance, held by 592,818 accounts representing 8.4% of total wallets. This pattern reflects the minimum reserve period from September 2021 through December 2024. Combined, wallets holding either…
