Tomorrow, September 17th, with the possibility of interest rate reductions from the US Federal Reserve, investors will pay attention to Bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) opportunities, the latter of which is the cryptocurrency of the Ethereum network.
Tom Lee, co-founder of FundStrat and president of Bitmine; It stipulates that both digital assets will present “exceptional investment opportunities” by the end of 2025driven by expected liquidity injections in financial markets.
In an interview with CNBC, Lee explained that lowering interest rates reduces the costs of loans. He explained that this can lead capital to assets that are considered “risk” such as BTC and ETH.
He cited the September 2024 precedent. This has led the Fed to cut fees at its first 50 base points since March 2020, boosting investors’ confidence and increasing the price of digital assets.
According to Lee, sensitivity to fluidity in BTC and ETH increases its performance along with flexibility in the Fed and seasonal patterns.
Horizontal warnings
Not everyone shares Lee’s optimism. David Kelly, global chief strategy for JPMorgan Asset Management, warned of that Perceived politically motivated rate reductions can create risk.
He proposed diversifying his wallet after recent market rebounds. On his part, analyst Ted Pillow is anticipating a correction before a new bullish impulse. At the stage, Bitcoin could drop to $104,000 before the reverse. Another, I could have gone down to $92,000 Before reaching the new history maximum, as seen in the next graph.
Ethereum: Bitmine’s strategic assets
Lee, who compares to Michael Saylor for Ethereum’s passionate defense, has highlighted the potential of ETH as a “new generation growth protocol” as well as Bitcoin’s Saylor.
He emphasized that Ethereum benefits from the traditional transition to the digital sector of finance And integration of artificial intelligence into networks.
Under his leadership, Bitmine has accumulated over 2.15 million ETH and has consolidated the cryptocurrency corporate ownership as the largest company. The goal is to reach 5% of the circulating supply of ETH.
Facing and vitality of the facility
Bitmine’s strategy reflects the increased heat of facilities due to Ethereum. Lee uses social networks to promote long-term accumulation, stock price forecasts, highlight company purchases, and emulate Saylor’s approach with Bitcoin.
Activities on Ethereum Network, Particularly, the Layer 2 solution and staking mechanism enhance the appeal of ETH.. Staking allows owners to earn returns by blocking cryptocurrencies and supporting the network. This makes it a profitable option for businesses with cryptocurrency treasures.
As Cryptoics reported, Ethereum lives in a historic moment. Between July and September 2025, ETH recorded a yield of 81.53%, exceeding 59.5% in the third quarter of 2020. This impulse has resulted in ETH breaking its past 2021 highest level.
For the expected rate cuts tomorrow, expectations are mostly positive. Cuts can inject liquidity and benefit Bitcoin and Ethereum. However, the impact depends on how the market interprets the Fed’s decision. If it is perceived as a solid measure, the upward effect on BTC and ETH may be important.. Otherwise, temporary fixes such as those projected by the pillow may precede recovery to the new maximum.
