$XRP Crypto commentator Austin Hilton shared a new update with his community of XRP holders, reporting positive momentum for the asset in recent days.

In his post and accompanying video, Hilton noted that XRP had risen more than four percent in a single day and was up roughly eight to nine percent over the past few days. He explained that XRP had been consolidating for several weeks around the $2.80 level but has recently moved upward by nearly ten percent in just two days.

Hilton linked this movement to broader developments in the cryptocurrency space. He said the total cryptocurrency market capitalization had returned to above $4 trillion, with Bitcoin taking approximately 60% of that value.

He emphasized that institutional interest is starting to re-emerge, with cash and liquidity returning to the market, which he believes is contributing to XRP’s recent performance.

Federal Reserve Decision and Speculation

A key point raised in Hilton’s analysis was the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting scheduled for September 17. He mentioned that the market is anticipating a potential interest rate cut of either 25 or 50 basis points.

According to Hilton, speculation surrounding this decision is already influencing market sentiment, with traders and institutions positioning ahead of the announcement.

He noted that there could be a “buy the rumor, sell the news” effect depending on the outcome, explaining that a smaller 25 basis point reduction might lead to short-term selling if investors had hoped for a larger cut.

However, he stressed that two additional interest rate meetings remain before the end of the year, making the fourth quarter of 2025 a critical period for crypto markets.

Long-Term Outlook and Investment Approach

Hilton reinforced his belief that the crypto community often underestimates the long-term potential of the market. He recalled his earlier commentary on a Fidelity report suggesting that Bitcoin could reach $1 billion by 2038, highlighting the credibility of the source.

Based on his outlook, he shared that he personally intends to increase his own XRP holdings, even at current levels, and also plans to buy more Ethereum and Bitcoin.

He suggested that investors consider strategies such as small, regular purchases through automated drafts on exchanges, which allow consistent accumulation without waiting for larger capital reserves. Hilton framed this as a practical way to remain engaged in the market and avoid missing opportunities during periods of price growth.

Hilton concluded by restating his optimism about XRP and the broader crypto market in the months ahead, stressing the importance of preparing for potential volatility around the Federal Reserve’s decision and looking toward the final quarter of the year as a significant period for digital assets.
