Bank of England Trims Benchmark Rate to 3.75% in Line with Expectations, Ending the Pause Since August 2024
COINOTAG News reports that the Bank of England trimmed its policy rate from 4.00% to 3.75% on December 18, aligning with market expectations for gradual easing. After pausing quarterly cuts since August 2024, the BoE signaled a more data‑dependent path as inflation cools and growth stabilizes.
From a crypto perspective, the rate step lowers short‑term funding costs and can underpin a modest uplift in risk appetite. While not guaranteeing crypto price moves, the easing backdrop, coupled with global liquidity conditions, often fuels demand for higher‑beta assets, including Bitcoin and other digital assets.
Investors should closely monitor the BoE’s updated policy trajectory and inflation print, as the policy path will shape UK currency dynamics and cross‑border liquidity flows affecting crypto markets.
