Expert Says This Trump’s Action Is Giga Bullish for Crypto and XRP
President Donald Trump’s new push for lower interest rates has added momentum to an already favorable environment for digital assets, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP.
The latest comments came as regulatory clarity for crypto in Washington edges closer, creating a powerful mix of macroeconomic and policy support that could benefit the digital asset market. XRP sits in a strong position within this environment.
Crypto commentator Levi Rietveld weighed in after Trump called for the U.S. Federal Reserve to move quickly on interest rate cuts. He believes that the combination of policy shifts and regulatory developments could strengthen the outlook for XRP and the broader crypto market in the months ahead.

Trump Calls for Immediate Rate Cuts
Trump made his position clear during a recent appearance. He argued that strong economic performance should lead to lower borrowing costs rather than tighter monetary policy. “I want somebody that, when the market is doing great, interest rates can go down,” Trump said.
He explained that economic strength should support lower rates because it reflects national stability. According to Trump, the current Federal Reserve’s approach works against that principle. “Our country becomes stronger, and therefore interest rates should go down, not up,” he stated.
Trump also criticized the Fed for responding too aggressively when economic growth accelerates. “They kill every rally,” he said, referring to the Fed’s approach to inflation management. These comments increase pressure on Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve leadership.
Trump and Powell have often disagreed on monetary policy, and the president’s latest remarks renew that long-standing divide. Markets typically react quickly to signals about lower rates because easier monetary conditions support risk assets.
Regulatory Clarity Adds Fuel to Crypto Momentum
Monetary policy is not the only factor shaping sentiment around digital assets. A major regulatory development also sits on the horizon. The CLARITY Act continues to move through the legislative process.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently stated that the bill has a 90% chance of passing by April. If approved, the legislation would define how digital assets operate within U.S. financial law.
Clear rules could unlock greater institutional participation. Many firms remain cautious when regulations remain uncertain. A defined framework removes that barrier and enables capital to enter the sector.
For XRP, regulatory certainty from the CLARITY Act is of special importance. Lower interest rates also increase liquidity in financial markets. Investors often shift toward growth assets when borrowing costs fall, and capital becomes easier to deploy. The convergence of supportive monetary policy and clearer regulation could accelerate its adoption and boost its price.

From SpaceX to Anthropic, the market has new strategies for dealing with tech giants' IPOs
The market's response strategies to major listings are currently centered around "index inclusion expectations": the new regulations allow mega IPOs to be included in the six major indices within 15 days, triggering concentrated buying by passive funds. Investors are positioning themselves in advance and using options to hedge and amplify buying power. However, Anthropic has a free float of only about 6%; shares available for sale by employees on the first day and privately placed shares with no lock-up period may create supply pressure. On the other hand, index arbitrageurs are facing a rare opportunity.
