XRP, BNB, and Hyperliquid Rally Ahead of Fed Decision
With the U.S. Federal Reserve set to announce its interest rate decision today, select Layer 1 tokens are outperforming the broader market. BNB gained 2.5% in 24 hours, followed by Sui (+2.2%), Hyperliquid (+1%), and XRP (+0.7%).
Analysts note the moves are being driven by coin-specific catalysts rather than macro events. BNB and Hyperliquid are benefiting from treasury buying flows and strong value models, while XRP’s momentum comes from the approval of a spot ETF that could launch this week.
Data shows altcoin leverage has surged, with open interest briefly surpassing Bitcoin’s—an indicator of rising speculation and appetite for “alt season.” Despite short-term bearish structures, institutions continue accumulating, with U.S. Bitcoin ETFs seeing $2.34 billion in inflows last week.
