Altcoins Outperform as Market Anticipates Fed Rate Cut; XRP, SOL, AVAX Lead Gains

11.09.2025 22:42

The cryptocurrency market has received a significant boost on September 11, 2025, with the total market capitalization rising by 1.7% to $4.057 trillion. This surge is largely driven by investor expectations that incoming U.S. inflation data will increase the likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate cut during the September 16-17 FOMC meeting.

XRP has risen to $3.02, marking a 2% increase in 24 hours and a 6% gain over the past week. Despite being down 4% over the past month, technical indicators suggest it is moving from an oversold position. Fundamentally, Ripple's recent partnership with Spanish bank BBVA for custody services has bolstered confidence. Analysts project XRP could reach $3.50 in the coming weeks, with potential to hit $5 by year-end if SEC-approved XRP ETFs materialize.

Solana (SOL) has shown robust performance, up 2.5% in 24 hours, 8.5% in a week, and 28% over the month. It remains the second-largest layer-one network by total value locked. Bloomberg analysts assign a 95% probability of approval for various SOL ETF applications from firms like Grayscale and VanEck. With its RSI nearing 70, SOL could target $250 by month-end and potentially $400 by December.

Avalanche (AVAX) is among the top performers, surging 9% today to $28.95, with weekly and monthly gains of 17% and 26%, respectively. The token has broken out of a 213-day consolidation pattern, coinciding with news of upcoming $1 billion fundraising for two AVAX treasury firms. Combined with pending ETF applications, AVAX could see a rally toward $50 by October and $100 by December if market conditions remain favorable.
