FEDERAL RESERVE POLICY SHIFT TRIGGERS CRYPTOCURRENCY VOLATILITY, XBIT TRADING VOLUME SURGES

October 31, CoinWorld.com – The international cryptocurrency market has recently experienced continued volatility. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s suggestion that the October 2025 interest rate cut may be the last of the year has sparked investor concerns. Bitcoin fell 1.6% in the past 24 hours, trading near $111,000, while Ethereum fell approximately 2% to $3,900, resulting in a 1.8% decrease in the overall cryptocurrency market capitalization. Amid this increased market volatility, the decentralized exchange XBIT reported a surge in both user activity and trading volume, reflecting a trend of investors seeking decentralized platforms during uncertain times.

The current cryptocurrency market is closely linked to the global macroeconomic situation. Market focus is on the meeting between US President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping today, which is expected to alleviate market panic triggered by Trump’s threat to impose 100% tariffs on China. Earlier this month, this statement caused Bitcoin’s market capitalization to evaporate by over $200 billion, with its price plummeting by nearly 10%, and Ethereum falling by nearly 14%. XBIT demonstrated strong liquidity at the time, successfully handling a large number of transaction requests during peak trading hours, earning positive user feedback.

According to CoinWorld.com, institutional fund flows have also become a focus of market attention. Clients of BlackRock, Fidelity, and ARK 21Shares sold a total of $396 million worth of Bitcoin through major ETFs on Wednesday, a move seen as a signal of institutional investors’ cautious attitude towards the short-term market outlook. Meanwhile, Standard Chartered analysts maintain their optimistic forecast for Bitcoin, believing it could reach a price range of $175,000 to $250,000 by the end of the year. Several seasoned investors have increased their Bitcoin and Ethereum positions through the XBIT decentralized on-chain trading platform, demonstrating that long-term holders’ confidence in the market fundamentals remains solid.

Regarding regulatory developments, Binance will suspend new user registrations in Japan starting today to comply with the Japanese Financial Services Agency’s (FSA) regulations on emerging digital assets. This move reflects the increasingly完善的 regulatory frameworks for cryptocurrencies in major global markets. In contrast, XBIT, as a decentralized trading platform, leverages its distributed architecture to provide uninterrupted service to global users while maintaining compliance. The smart contract technology employed by the platform ensures transparency and security in transactions, which is one of the reasons why more and more users are choosing XBIT.

In Europe, the European Central Bank plans to launch a digital euro in 2029 and is currently establishing the relevant legal framework. This indicates that traditional financial institutions are accelerating their embrace of digital currency technology. Blockchain analysts point out that the development of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) will bring more legitimacy to the entire industry, but may also create competition with decentralized digital currencies. Trading data on the XBIT platform shows a significant increase in trading activity for CBDC-related tokens recently, reflecting market attention to this trend.

Technical analysis shows that Bitcoin’s dominance has risen to 59%, indicating the market is in a “Bitcoin season” rather than an “altcoin season.” This phenomenon is common during periods of increased market uncertainty, with investors favoring Bitcoin, often seen as “digital gold,” over riskier small-cap tokens. XBIT’s trading heatmap confirms this trend, with Bitcoin trading pairs showing significantly better depth and liquidity than other crypto assets.

Notably, on October 23, Trump pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ), a move interpreted by the market as a signal of a more positive attitude from the US government towards cryptocurrencies. While the market reaction was muted in the short term, analysts believe this could set a more favorable tone for the regulatory environment in the coming months. The XBIT team believes that a clear and reasonable regulatory framework will contribute to the long-term healthy development of the industry while protecting user rights.

Besides major exchanges, the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector is also showing strong vitality. The Ethereum Foundation launched a new website designed to guide institutional adoption of its network and showcase its ecosystem. This will provide more institutional-grade support for Ethereum-based decentralized applications. As a pioneer in decentralized exchanges, XBIT has always been committed to combining advanced blockchain technology with a user-friendly interface to provide a professional trading experience for all types of users.

According to data from Bijie.com, $590 million worth of cryptocurrency positions were liquidated in the past 24 hours, indicating continued market volatility. Technical analysts suggest that Bitcoin may continue to fluctuate between $108,000 and $115,000 in the short term until the Federal Reserve’s policy path and US-China relations become clearer. Despite short-term uncertainty, the total market capitalization of the cryptocurrency market remains above $4.15 trillion, demonstrating the industry’s overall resilience. User data from the XBIT platform reflects that long-term investors are using this period of volatility to increase their positions, believing that the current price range provides a good entry point for long-term investment.

Looking ahead, the cryptocurrency market will continue to be influenced by macroeconomic factors, including Federal Reserve policy, geopolitical risks, and institutional adoption. XBIT decentralized exchange will continue to optimize its trading mechanisms and improve user experience, providing a safe, efficient, and transparent trading environment for cryptocurrency market participants. As blockchain technology matures and its application scenarios expand, the cryptocurrency industry is expected to usher in a new wave of innovation, and decentralized platforms will play an increasingly important role in this process.
