Quantitative Easing is a period where the US Federal Reserve pushes down interest rates, allowing for more participation in the economy. It pushes liquidity into the market as investors move into the financial market, as loans are now available at much lower interest rates, and investors are able to take more risks with the downside reduced.
According to the latest reports, the Federal Reserve is expected to end the current round of quantitative tightening on December 1, 2025, and introduce quantitative easing. Going by this timeframe, it means the market has less than one month of quantitative tightening left before better headwinds roll in for the market.
Back then, the XRP price did not benefit from the quantitative easing as it had been tied up in a fierce legal battle with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over the securities status of XRP. However, with the lawsuit finally settled in 2025, the altcoin is no longer held back by the lawsuit.
