Federal Reserve cut interest rates again on December 10, 2025, amid broader economic shifts, leaving unanswered questions about its impact on the crypto sector.

Federal Reserve Slashes Rates as Treasury Yields Rise

Amid divergent market movements, the Federal Reserve implemented a 25 basis point rate cut to steady the economy amidst labor market softening. This marked the third consecutive reduction in 2025. Long-term Treasury yields, including the 10-year yield, unexpectedly rose by about 5 basis points despite dovish signals.

The rate cut aims at aligning inflation with the Fed’s 2% goal. Concurrently, markets adjust, with rising Treasury yields indicating potential shifts in investor sentiment. Expectations now focus on upcoming CPI data to inform future monetary policy decisions.

No significant movements were observed in cryptocurrency markets, with industry leaders maintaining silence. Current focus remains on forthcoming economic indicators, particularly the release of U.S. CPI data on Thursday, December 18, 2025.
