More volatility ensued in the following days, especially leading to the Wednesday FOMC meeting, in which the US Federal Reserve finally <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/what-to-expect-from-the-fed-this-year-after-first-rate-cut-in-2025\/\">reduced<\/a> the key interest rates by 25 bps.<\/p>\n<p>In the hours before the announcement, BTC jumped past $117,000, dropped below $115,000, and recovered to $116,000. Once the rate cut became known, bitcoin remained relatively sluggish at first.<\/p>\n<p>However, the asset went on the offensive during the early Thursday morning trading hours when it jumped to $118,000 to mark a multi-week high. That momentum was short-lived, though, as bitcoin started to lose value gradually and dropped to $115,200 on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>It <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/massive-losses-for-these-altcoins-as-btc-slips-below-116k-weekend-watch\/\">bounced<\/a> to just over $116,000 yesterday but was stopped and is now positioned between $115,000 and $116,000. Its market cap has stalled at $2.3 trillion, while its dominance over the alts sits close to 56% on CG.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/BTCUSD-19.png\"><\/a>BTCUSD. Source: TradingView<\/p>\n<h2>BNB\u2019s World<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s safe to say that BNB has been the rockstar of the larger-cap alts in the past week or so. The asset has marked repeated new all-time highs, especially since it <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bnb-joins-the-four-digit-club-but-this-time-its-different\/\">broke<\/a> above $1,000. In the past 24 hours alone, it exploded by around 10% and charted a fresh peak at $1,080 (on CoinGecko). Although it has retraced slightly since then, it\u2019s still the top performer from the largest alts.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, ETH, XRP, SOL, DOGE, ADA, TRX, LINK, AVAX, and SUI have made no big moves, while HYPE has plunged by over 5%.<\/p>\n<p>ASTER continues to chart notable gains, adding over 40% of value in the past day. M and IP follow suit, with increases of 18% and 15%, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The total crypto market cap has shed around $20 billion overnight and is down to $4.120 trillion on CG.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-21-125417.png\"><\/a>Cryptocurrency Market Overview.
