Top Performing Cryptos Defy the Market Dip Before Fed Decision – Best Crypto to Buy?

jumped 26.8% to $0.125, and River (RIVER) climbed 25% to $8.64. Tokenbot rose 16%, now up more than 350% over the past week.

Over the weekend, World Liberty Finance (WLFI) burned 175 million WLFI tokens worth about $26.7 million, aiming to reduce supply and strengthen its ecosystem. Meanwhile, American Bitcoin, another Trump-linked company, acquired 1,414 BTC valued at $163 million, increasing total holdings to 3,865 BTC (around $445 million). These moves appear to have reignited speculative interest in Trump-related tokens.

Analysts expect Bitcoin to stay between $113,000 and $115,000 before the Fed announcement. If the Fed confirms a rate cut, BTC could rise toward $120,000 in early November. If the central bank signals caution, a temporary dip toward $107,000 is possible.

The next two days may define the market’s short-term direction and highlight the best opportunities to buy ahead of the FOMC decision.

All senior leadership levels should support crypto industry,” Says Kazakhstan’s Deputy Prime Minister: 99Bitcoins Event Coverage

Since 2021, Kazakhstan is a top global hub for Bitcoin mining. The country recently created a national strategic reserve. But what could be the opportunity cost for the country if there were no regulations in place? Zhaslan Madiyev, Deputy Prime Minister – Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan took the stage during PlanB Conference held in Lugano on 25 October 2025 and said, “If a government doesn’t give proper regulations, infrastructure, and doesn’t give incentives, you will still see that the crypto sector will develop on its own – but in the grey area.”

“In the early 2020s, we saw that Kazakhstan became the second-largest country in terms of crypto mining, in terms of global hash rate, when there was a ban in China on crypto mining,” he said.

“Suddenly, crypto miners started to move to Kazakhstan. At that time, we didn’t have any regulations, and Kazakhstan became one of the top two countries in the world. And this triggered us to develop the law on digital assets.”

“So now we are licensing mining firms, giving accreditation to mining pools, and providing licenses to crypto exchange firms. And we see that these clear rules of the game attract investors and foreign companies to come and use Kazakhstan as a hub for the crypto industry in the region.”

Ethereum Price Holding Above $4000 Getting Ready To Send?

Fatima

By Fatima

Ethereum Price successfully reclaimed $4000 two days ago. That is not a very long time, but it is a good start. Tomorrow, the Fed will announce its interest rate decision, which usually causes volatility. Polymarket participants are 98% sure that we will see a 25bps cut. Other analysts say that economic data allows for a 50bps cut, which could send prices much higher than a 25bps cut. But history shows that Polymarket predictions often come true.

Many are considering the rate cut to be already priced in. And what experts are actually looking at is the end of QT and the tone of the announcement. These two factors will give away what the next few months could look like for crypto. If things look bullish,

BTC USD Price Braces For FOMC: Polymarket Says Cut, Will Powell Deliver?

Fatima

By Fatima

In the next 48 hours or so, there will be two major market-moving events. The Federal Reserve and Jerome Powell will announce new interest rates tomorrow, and US President Donald Trump will meet with Premier Xi Jinping the day after. Regardless of the outcome, the BTC USD price will move.

So far, there are hints of strength. Even though Bitcoin bulls should build on the series of higher highs posted over the weekend, what’s crucial for structure traders is whether the digital gold will float above $110,000.

Presently, the BTC USD price is hovering around $114,000 and $115,000, up +6% in the past week. Although stable, the sharp recovery from October 23 could be the foundation for even more gains.

The BTC USDT price is stable above $114,000, roughly 36 hours before the FOMC decides on rates. Will Jerome Powell slash rates?
