The cryptocurrency market faced significant turbulence following the Federal Reserve’s latest decision to cut interest rates by 0.25%. This <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/12/18/nx-s1-5230508/federal-reserve-interest-rates-economy-inflation" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announcement</a> triggered sharp declines across major assets. XRP, in particular, saw its value drop by 6.75%, currently <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/xrp/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">trading</a> at $2.19.

The Federal Reserve’s decision to cut the interest rates to stimulate economic growth but rather led to unexpected market volatility.
Traditional and crypto markets experienced sharp declines, with the U.S. stock market losing $1.5 trillion. Cryptocurrency markets suffered $310 million in liquidations within a day, with XRP among the most affected assets.
Jerome Powell, Chair of the Federal Reserve, emphasized the central bank’s current position on cryptocurrency, stating that it has no intention of holding Bitcoin or altering its policies to accommodate such assets. These comments contributed to negative sentiment, raising concerns about regulatory uncertainty in the crypto space.

XRP’s price collapse erased gains made after the recent launch of Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin. After peaking at $2.72, XRP retraced to $2.23, marking a 17% decline within 24 hours. The asset initially recovered slightly, but is currently in a precarious position, with its trading value hovering around $2.19.
Despite the recent downturn, cryptocurrency analyst Oscar Ramos suggested that the dip could present an opportunity for accumulation. In a recent video, Ramos <a href="https://x.com/realOscarRamos1/status/1869526546538742171" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">highlighted</a> the recurring nature of price corrections in the crypto market and encouraged investors to adopt long-term strategies rather than reacting to short-term fluctuations.
Ramos pointed to a similar price drop on December 10, when the token declined following Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse’s interview on 60 Minutes. According to Ramos, the asset eventually rebounded.
The analyst disclosed that he increased his XRP holdings during the latest drop, expressing optimism about the asset’s future. He emphasized the benefits of dollar-cost averaging and advised investors to remain focused on the long-term potential of the token rather than making decisions based on market panic.

Ramos also highlighted the recent launch of Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin as a potential driver of XRP’s long-term value. Monica Long, Ripple’s President, described <a href="https://timestabloid.com/ripple-announces-when-rlusd-will-launch-globally-xrp-price-surges/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">RLUSD</a> as part of Ripple’s commitment to regulatory-compliant stablecoin solutions. She noted the increasing demand for such assets and projected that the market for stablecoins could grow to $3 trillion by 2028.
Ripple’s diversification efforts, including its focus on stablecoins, are seen by some analysts as a promising strategy for supporting the asset’s future growth.
The token’s struggles are part of a larger downturn across the cryptocurrency market. <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> fell from $108,000 to $96,762, while Ethereum faced significant liquidations, including a $4.7 million transaction in ETH perpetual futures on Binance.
Ramos urged investors to remain calm in the face of widespread market uncertainty. While fear dominated the market following the Federal Reserve’s announcement, he emphasized the importance of adhering to long-term investment plans rather than making emotionally driven decisions. While the market remains unstable, Ramos and other analysts see opportunities for investors willing to adopt disciplined strategies.
