Looking at the crypto market today, there\u2019s a real excitement around the FOMC rate cut, the 25 basis points that becomes news headlines everywhere in a mostly positive way as BTC is dancing around 117K USD, ETH is just above 4.5K USD, creeping up about 0.7% in the last day, while XRP is trading close to 3.07, enjoying a 1.6% gain against. If history is any guide, similar rate cuts usually spark 20\u201330% gains for high-risk assets over the next few weeks. So yes, there\u2019s cause to be mildly excited.<\/span><\/p>\n

Altcoins are getting attention now that the easing has landed. Data from TradingView shows total crypto market cap rising, suggesting some capital is rotating out of BTC \u25b20.50%<\/span><\/a> and into high-risk plays.<\/span><\/p>\n

SOL \u25b24.06%<\/span><\/a> is up to 244 USD, gaining 3.2% today, helped by DEX volumes that climb to about $2.5B daily per DeFiLlama, a 5% jump since the cut and about 26% this week.<\/span><\/p>\n

BNB \u25b25.04%<\/span><\/a>, on the other hand, is with a nice round number, at 1,000 USD, just as this article is being written. Its BSC TVL is at $7.8B, up by almost10% this week. These are the foundations of stronger sentiment across crypto.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today Crypto Market News Roundup: BTC, ETH, XRP Ready for Moon as Rate Cut Brings Stronger USD<\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s where things are headed. According to CoinGlass, open interest for BTC USD is about $85B, and long positions dominate in liquidations since the cut, a pattern we\u2019ve seen in past ramps.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

ETH USD is supported by Layer\u20112 TVLs (via DeFiLlama https:\/\/defillama.com\/chain\/ethereum) exceeding $40B, and ETF inflows pushing over $1.2B weekly. XRP may gain institutional credibility as its CME options pick up steam with doubled volume, now around USD 15B.<\/span><\/p>\n

Could BTC USD slip under $115,000 briefly? Sure. But with signals from the Fed hinting at perhaps two more cuts this year, bullish pressure remains. The overall DeFi total market cap is $4.2B, a huge number considering it against the traditional market.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

If things break well, XRP might test 3.20 USD, with BTC, ETH, and SOL leading. Optimistically, September will end on a strong note, even if there are a few dips along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

Memecore and EIGEN Price Blasts 20%: Is BTC Layer 2 Next 100X Crypto?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n\t\t\t\tBy Akiyama Felix<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The hunt for the next 100x crypto intensified today as traders digested Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell\u2019s 25bps rate cut, a move that has fueled bullish sentiment across risk markets. Crypto reacted almost instantly, with Memecore and EigenLayer both surging more than 20% higher in the past 24 hours, sparking a fresh wave of speculation about where smart money will next rotate.<\/p>\n

While Bitcoin reclaimed $117K, history shows the biggest returns don\u2019t come from BTC itself but from smaller-cap tokens building innovative ecosystems around it. With monetary policy easing and liquidity returning, traders are now asking: could a Bitcoin Layer 2 project deliver the next crypto to 100x as new capital floods into the market?<\/p>\n
