    Crypto News Today: Institutions Bet Big on Solana Ahead of Fed Decision

    Story Highlights
    • Fedโ€™s September 17 rate decision could trigger massive crypto volatility across Bitcoin and altcoins.

    • Polkadot caps supply at 2.1 billion DOT, creating scarcity and boosting long-term value outlook.

    • Whales accumulate KIND, BUN, and Bagwork tokens, pushing them into trends and signaling market confidence.

    The crypto world is entering an important week, with several major events capturing investorsโ€™ attention. According to Santimentโ€™s market intelligence, a mix of new token rules, expected Fed decisions, trending projects, and global news is creating strong buzz among traders and investors.

    Key Events Driving the Market

    Fed Rate Cut Decision

    At the center of it all is the most awaited U.S. Federal Reserve’s rate decision on September 17, with markets pricing in a 96% probability of a 25bps cut. Lower rates historically fuel crypto rallies in Bitcoin and altcoins, while a hawkish surprise may trigger a sell-off. 

    Polkadot Introduces Scarcity with New Token Rules

    Beyond the fed rate cut, Polkadot DAO passed Referendum 1710, capping the total supply at 2.1 billion tokens and reducing annual emissions. This move introduces scarcity and predictability for DOT, giving traders a reason to watch the token closely

    As of now, 1.6 billion DOT are in circulation. By 2040, the supply will only reach 1.91 billion, far lower than the old unlimited model, which would have pushed it to 3.4 billion.

    PumpFunโ€™s Creator Sparks New Token Hype (PumpFun Meta)

    PumpFunโ€™s streaming platform is gaining attention as top creators like Sway and BunnyFuFuu attract new users. With 50% of the creator fees being used for token buybacks, it encourages more engagement.ย 

    While excitement is high, some investors worry the hype could be short-lived, with quick sell-offs by insiders affecting the market.

    Meanwhile, whales are actively buying KIND, BUN, and Bagwork tokens, with sizable orders pushing these into trending status and raising market caps. Even smaller, consistent buys in GPX show steady interest, suggesting that some investors are planning for the long term rather than chasing quick profits.

    Institutions Show Confidence in Solana

    Galaxy Digital has bought over $1.5 billion in Solana tokens in just five days. This shows strong institutional belief in the project, especially ahead of the Fedโ€™s expected rate cuts. 

    Upcoming token unlocks, including OP, ARB, and SEI, are also creating chatter, while altcoins like Avantis and Peaq gain momentum through new listings and price surges.

    With tighter token rules, institutional buying, and the Fedโ€™s rate decision, traders have plenty to watch

    FAQs

    What is the impact of the Fed’s rate decision on crypto?

    A Federal Reserve rate cut on September 17 is highly anticipated. Historically, lower interest rates make riskier assets like cryptocurrencies more attractive, often leading to a broad rally in both Bitcoin and altcoins.

    How does Polkadot’s new token cap affect its value?

    Polkadot’s new supply cap of 2.1 billion tokens, passed in Referendum 1710, introduces scarcity. This predictability and reduced inflation are expected to boost the token’s long-term value, attracting more investors.

    Why is PumpFun gaining attention in the crypto space?

    PumpFun is a platform where creators launch new tokens and use a portion of their fees to buy back the token. This mechanism drives engagement and creates buzz, but some are cautious about potential quick sell-offs.

    Why are institutions like Galaxy Digital buying Solana?

    Institutions are showing confidence in Solana’s long-term potential. Galaxy Digital’s large purchase of over $1.5 billion in Solana reflects a growing institutional belief in the network’s technology and its future in the crypto market.
