#FOMCMeeting Dump in the Crypto Market June 17, 2025

On June 17, 2025, the crypto market sharply declined against the backdrop of anticipation for the results of the US Federal Reserve meeting, which intensified uncertainty among investors. Major players withdrew liquidity and initiated mass sell-offs of certain tokens, provoking a chain liquidation of positions. Additional pressure came from large-scale token unlocks and the traditionally weak performance of Bitcoin in June. The reduction in market makers' activity and low trading volumes made the market particularly vulnerable to external shocks. The main factor behind the sell-offs was indeed the anticipation of the Fed's decisions and the associated economic risks.
