Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>The cryptocurrency market is awaiting a possible interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve on Wednesday during the bank\u2019s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting.<\/p>\n

With US labor data deteriorating and inflation falling below 3%, the Fed is expected to deliver its first rate cut of the year.<\/p>\n

Markets widely anticipate a 25-basis-point reduction, followed by two more cuts of the same size at the remaining meetings this year.<\/p>\n

Mustafa Batuhan Tufaner, an associate professor of economics at Istanbul Beykent University, told Anadolu that the Fed is facing \u201ca kind of dilemma\u201d with rate cuts.<\/p>\n

He said the Fed has been cautious due to tariff-related uncertainties but is now more likely to act given rising jobless claims. Pressure from US President Donald Trump on Fed Chair Jerome Powell to cut rates is another factor.<\/p>\n

While a rate cut would directly affect most US markets, global cryptocurrency markets are also watching the Fed\u2019s move closely.<\/p>\n

\u201cCryptocurrencies will be positively influenced by a rate cut, but geopolitical developments will also influence this process,\u201d said Tufaner.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin is trading around $115,000 ahead of the meeting, while Ethereum is around $4,500.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe start of the Fed\u2019s easing cycle has been anticipated for some time by alternative investment investors. However, part of this expectation has already been priced in. Whether the rate decision is a one-off or part of a broader rate cut cycle will be key for cryptocurrencies,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Tufaner noted that macroeconomic factors like interest rate decisions will influence the short-term trajectory of cryptocurrencies, while upcoming regulations on stablecoins and tokenized securities will be decisive for the market\u2019s medium-term future.<\/p>\n

He also underlined that Tu\u0308rkiye is preparing to transition to digital currencies, with phase two studies already underway.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs regulations and digital currency use become more widespread, the inflow of capital into crypto assets will accelerate,\u201d he predicted.<\/p>\n
