Fed cuts of 75 to 100 bps in 2025 could unleash a $6B Bitcoin ETF buying wave soon

Fed cuts of 75 to 100 bps in 2025 could unleash a $6B Bitcoin ETF buying wave soon

The post Fed cuts of 75 to 100 bps in 2025 could unleash a $6B Bitcoin ETF buying wave soon appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin and Ethereum face a fourth quarter shaped by Federal Reserve cuts and ETF demand. Markets are leaning toward a September policy move after the weakest monthly jobs gain since 2020, and crypto’s near-term path hinges on how rate expectations translate into spot ETF flows, funding costs, and options hedging. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, August nonfarm payrolls rose by just 22,000, and the unemployment rate reached 4.3 percent. Futures markets put a September cut at high odds. CME’s FedWatch tool shows rate probabilities embedded in fed funds futures, and broader markets are aligning with that setup as the dollar trades near recent lows and gold pushes new highs. Per Reuters, the dollar index fell to a seven-week low and spot gold set a record this week, while traders priced a near-certain September reduction with a small tail for a larger move. The next policy dates are fixed on the Federal Reserve’s calendar, with a two-day meeting on Sept. 16–17, then October and December sessions that will close the year. Some banks now map two quarter-point cuts in 2025, September and December, a shift that followed the August labor report. What does history tell us? ETF flows around prior easing windows provide a baseline for what new cuts could mean. In the week of the September 2024 cut, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs collectively took in roughly $2.4 billion, and Ethereum ETFs added about $600 million across the Monday to Friday prints. During the December 2024 cut week, Bitcoin ETFs added about $1.6 billion while Ethereum funds were near flat. According to Farside Investors’ Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF tables, those episodes share a pattern, net-positive flows clustering around the decision with softer days on either side. The last 60 days show how sensitive those tapes remain to macro. For Bitcoin ETFs,…

This $7T cash pile is predicted to fuel the next Bitcoin bull run and ATH altseason

The post This $7T cash pile is predicted to fuel the next Bitcoin bull run and ATH altseason appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Could Bitcoin and Ethereum new highs come before 2025’s close? Total assets in US money market funds climbed to a record $7.26 trillion for the week ending September 3, a seven-day jump of about $52.37 billion, according to data from the Investment Company Institute (ICI).  ICI’s weekly report to the Federal Reserve, released Tuesday, shows retail money market funds adding $18.90 billion, pushing their total to $2.96 trillion. Institutional funds saw an even larger increase from $33.47 billion to $4.29 trillion.  The researchers believe most of the money could trickle into more riskier assets like Bitcoin and altcoins, which could cause a Q4 2025 bull market run. Market analysis: Cash rotation into crypto feasible A money market fund is a type of mutual fund that invests in highly liquid, short-term debt instruments such as US Treasury bills, certificates of deposit, and commercial paper. Investors became fond of MMFs during the COVID-19 crisis of early 2020, when many considered the vehicles as “safety nets” from market turmoil.  Crypto analysts see the buildup in money market funds as a potential fuel for the next rally in digital assets. David Duong, Institutional Head of Research at Coinbase, asserted that rate cuts from the Federal Reserve could push outflows from these funds into riskier assets like equities and cryptocurrencies. “There is over $7 trillion inside money market funds, and all of that is retail money,” Duong said in an interview earlier this week. “As those rate cuts start to come in, all of that retail cash flow is really going to enter other asset classes such as equities, crypto, and others.” Economists expect the Federal Reserve to lower its target interest rate at its September 16 meeting, with market pricing in at least a 25-basis-point cut. Around 19% of Polymarket predictions anticipate a 50-basis-point…

Here’s What XRP Price Would Be If Its Market Cap Reached Elon Musk’s Net Worth

Here’s What XRP Price Would Be If Its Market Cap Reached Elon Musk’s Net Worth

XRP stands to gain massively if its valuation rises to the level of the current richest man in the world—Elon Musk. Currently, XRP boasts a market capitalization of $168 billion with a price of $2.90, making it the third-largest cryptocurrency. The only cryptos ahead of XRP are Ethereum and Bitcoin, with market caps of $537 billion and $2.17 trillion, respectively. Many believe XRP is significantly undervalued at its current position. They continue to project future valuations where XRP would be worth much more.  Based on this popular sentiment within the XRP community, this article explores the potential valuation of XRP if its market cap were to match Elon Musk’s net worth. XRP and Elon Musk’s Net Worth According to Forbes, Elon Musk’s real-time net worth is $415.6 billion, making him the richest person in the world. Notably, Musk accumulated his wealth through seven companies he co-founded, including SpaceX, Tesla, and xAI. He owns about 12% of Tesla (excluding options), although over half of that is pledged as loan collateral. Musk also holds a 42% stake in SpaceX, which was valued at $350 billion in late 2024.  In 2022, he acquired Twitter (now X) for $44 billion, though its value had dropped nearly 70% as of August 2024. Additionally, Musk owns 54% of xAI, which was valued at $50 billion in November 2024. It’s worth noting that Tesla is one of the top 11 public companies holding crypto, with a Bitcoin portfolio exceeding $1.2 billion. Given X’s planned rollout of payment integration features, speculation has emerged within the XRP community that XRP could potentially be adopted as the underlying blockchain. As TRIBLU Founder Joshua Dalton tweeted in June, Elon Musk “will do anything” to make XRP the chosen one. However, Musk himself has not shown any clear interest in XRP. In October last year, he did mention XRP publicly—but only in response to a question during a Trump campaign event. Nonetheless, the XRP community continues to push for Musk to endorse the coin. What Would XRP Price Be at Musk’s Net Worth? Currently, Musk’s net worth of $415.6 billion is roughly 2.5 times larger than XRP’s market valuation of $168 billion. Given XRP’s circulating supply of 59.48 billion tokens, a market cap equivalent to Musk’s net worth would result in an XRP price of approximately $7 per token. Elon Musk Net worth | Forbes Considering XRP’s all-time high of $3.84, this projected price would mark a historic new peak. Notably, XRP only needs to soar by 150% from its current position to reach $7 price and match Musk's wealth.  When Could XRP Reach This Level? According to several analysts and voices within the crypto community, the $7 price point could materialize this year. For instance, widely followed crypto commentator Mario Nawfal predicted that XRP could reach $10 by December. Interestingly, this valuation would give XRP a market cap that far exceeds Musk’s current net worth. Another community member, Alex Cobb, believes a $22 price is achievable by December. This price would give XRP a valuation of $1.3 trillion, setting it to rival the valuations of Facebook and Saudi Aramco.
