The crypto market is increasingly betting on a 0.25% interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve in December, with the chances of this happening rising to 74.5%. A rate cut would lower borrowing costs, which could encourage people to spend and invest more, including in assets like Bitcoin. The Federal Reserve's interest rate is currently between 4.5% and 4.75%, and a further reduction would signal a more supportive economic environment for riskier assets. Some experts also predict that the US dollar could peak by mid-2025 due to potential economic growth disappointments under Donald Trump. Bitcoin has already seen significant price increases this year and a rate cut could further drive its upward momentum.
