The crypto market remains steady but cautious ahead of the September 16\u201317 Federal Reserve meeting. Investors are closely watching for signals on monetary policy, with many asking the same question: what is the best crypto to buy in this environment?<\/p>\n

Bitcoin BTC \u25bc-0.45%<\/span><\/a><\/span> is trading around $115,700 after briefly dipping under $115,000. On the daily chart, BTC has reclaimed the $112K support and now faces resistance near $120,000. A breakout above this level could open the path back toward $124,000, while failure to hold $112,000 risks a retest of $108,000.<\/p>\n

Best Crypto To Buy Right Now: Bitcoin Holds $116K, Altcoins Wait for ETF Catalysts<\/h2>\n

Beyond price action, several upcoming macro and regulatory events could shape crypto\u2019s next big move. From the Federal Reserve\u2019s September meeting to critical ETF deadlines and stablecoin policy shifts, these decisions will determine whether capital flows back into Bitcoin and altcoins, or stays on the sidelines:<\/p>\n

FOMC Meeting (Sep 16\u201317): Markets price in an 88% chance of a 25 bps rate cut. This cut could boost Bitcoin and risk assets.
\nOctober ETF Deadlines: SEC decisions on XRP \u25bc-1.99%<\/span><\/a><\/span>,SOL \u25bc-1.03%<\/span><\/a><\/span>, LTC \u25bc-2.66%<\/span><\/a><\/span>, and ADA \u25bc-2.54%<\/span><\/a><\/span> ETFs may validate altcoins as commodities, potentially sparking inflows similar to Bitcoin\u2019s ETF boom.
\nStablecoin & Regulatory Shifts: Circle\u2019s trust bank application and Spain\u2019s early MiCA rollout could reshape liquidity and compliance across crypto markets.<\/p>\n

The FOMC meeting remains the near-term spark that could set the tone for the next leg of the market.<\/p>\n

Arthur Hayes: Bitcoin Could Break $200K, Dismissing Four-Year Cycle<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n\t\t\t\tBy Fatima<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, says Bitcoin\u2019s trajectory will be shaped more by global liquidity than the traditional four-year cycle. In an interview with Kyle Chasse, Hayes argued that central banks and governments worldwide will keep printing money and buying bonds, fueling risk assets like Bitcoin over equities such as the S&P 500.<\/p>\n

He believes the market underestimates this liquidity effect, which could drive BTC to $150K, $175K, or even $200K by the end of the 2020s.<\/p>\n

While risks exist later in the cycle, Hayes insists the real upside has not yet arrived.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
