Memecoin Surge Signals Altcoin Season As Fed Cut Odds Rise - Arabian Post

(MENAFN- The Arabian Post) decoding="async" alt="" border="0" width="320" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" src="https://lookaside.fbsbx.com/lookaside/crawler/threads/DCdhUprzGsr/0/image.jpg" onerror="this.onerror=null;this.src='https://thearabianpost.com/assets/aparab-news-post.jpg?v3';" />

Memecoins have surged across cryptocurrency markets as traders shift bets toward a probable interest-rate cut by the Federal Reserve and the possibility of U. S. altcoin ETF approvals. Bitcoin's market share has declined by about 3.5% over the past month, while indexes comparing altcoin performance versus Bitcoin have entered so-called“altseason” territory.

Expectations that the Federal Reserve may reduce rates by 25 basis points later this month are currently priced in at over 90% by market observers using tools such as Polymarket and the CME's FedWatch. A rate cut is widely seen as a trigger boosting risk-assets by lowering the comparative appeal of fixed-income securities.

The CoinDesk Memecoin Index rose roughly 7.1% over 24 hours, led by tokens like SHIB and BONE. These gains came despite Shiba Inu's layer-2 network, Shibarium, being hit by a flash-loan exploit, which did not dampen investor enthusiasm.

Analysts point out that falling Bitcoin dominance, which reflects a shrinking slice of total crypto market capitalisation for the biggest token, often heralds a shift into altcoins. Indexes from providers including CoinMarketCap and CoinGlass have signalled this rotation of capital away from Bitcoin toward altcoins.

Institutional momentum is also tightening around altcoin exchange-traded funds; proposals for ETFs covering DOGE and TRUMP tokens are reportedly under consideration for U. S. markets in the final quarter of the year. Approval of such funds could draw both retail and institutional capital into memecoin-adjacent assets.
