This decision is largely driven by the recent decline in inflation rates , which fell below the ECB’s target of 2% in September.

ECB President Christine Lagarde and other central bank officials have signaled their support for a rate cut, citing the positive inflation trajectory .

While some economists  had previously questioned the timing of a rate cut in October, the consensus  now leans towards a reduction at the upcoming meeting.

Beyond October, financial markets anticipate another 25 basis point rate cut in December. This would significantly ease monetary policy as the ECB balances economic growth with price stability.

Bitcoin Crowd Euphoria Hits Highest Level Of 2026 After CLARITY Act Progress

Bitcoin surged over 3.5% after the US Senate Banking Committee advanced the CLARITY Act, a crypto regulation bill aimed at providing clearer rules. This news drove Bitcoin crowd sentiment to its most euphoric (or "greediest") level of the year, which on-chain analytics firm Santiment notes is a long-term bullish signal due to increased investor certainty. However, Santiment cautions that such extreme optimism historically precedes short-term bearish pressure, as markets often move opposite to crowd frenzy. Separately, market analyst Ali Martinez reported Bitcoin miners sold approximately 800 BTC (around $64 million) over 96 hours, adding potential near-term selling pressure. While miner selling is not massive, spikes in their outflows have historically preceded price weakness or consolidation. Combining excessive euphoria with miner selling suggests Bitcoin may face corrective movement. At press time, Bitcoin traded at $79,136, down 2.9% in 24 hours.

Will The Passage Of The CLARITY Act Be Good For XRP Price? Why $50 Could Be The Minimum

The passage of the CLARITY Act in 2026 is viewed as a potential major catalyst for XRP's price. An analysis based on the quantity theory of money (MV=PQ) models various price scenarios depending on XRP's adoption level for regulated settlement and liquidity flows. A minimal use case, handling a small portion of cross-border transactions, could establish a price floor around $50. More extensive integration, such as bridging repo cash legs and collateral, could push prices to approximately $280. With supply compression from derivatives locking tokens, a "Structural Base Case" suggests a price near $415. A "Full Integration" scenario, where XRP is used across all major settlement positions, projects a range from $700 to $1,400. The CLARITY Act has passed the House and cleared a Senate committee, with a potential Senate vote and White House target for enactment by July 4, 2025.

$10M Gone: Thorchain Exploit Triggers Security Fears Across DeFi

Blockchain tracker Arkham Intelligence has identified wallets linked to a THORChain exploit, holding approximately $3 million in Bitcoin and 216 ETH. On-chain investigator ZachXBT first reported the suspicious activity, estimating total losses now exceed $10 million. The attackers moved assets like USDT, USDC, and wrapped Bitcoin across multiple chains before converting to ETH. The cross-chain trading protocol was hit simultaneously on Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Base. Security firm PeckShield confirmed the breach. Following the news, THORChain's native token RUNE dropped nearly 14%. The project's team had not issued a public statement at the time of reporting, increasing market anxiety. This incident highlights the recurring vulnerability of cross-chain infrastructure in DeFi, where complex code can create significant security risks. The stolen funds remain in the identified wallets for now.

Analyst Who Predict Bitcoin Top And Bottom Reveals When Price Will Start To Rise Again

An analyst known for accurately calling Bitcoin's previous top and bottom warns of a prolonged bearish phase. Following a rebound above $82,000 and a subsequent rejection, Bitcoin is seen forming a "bull trap" within a broader bearish structure. The analyst, Kabuki, projects a steady decline to around $61,000, then $47,000, followed by a temporary bounce to $55,000 before a final crash to approximately $41,000 by June 2026. This level is marked as the potential cycle bottom, after which prices could begin to rise again. Another expert echoes the bull trap warning, suggesting a sharp correction to $51,000 could start soon. Bitcoin was trading near $78,474 at the time of the report.
