BNB Reaches $1K Amid Rate Cut, Boosting Altcoin Prospects

The Fed's 25-basis-point interest rate cut has increased investor interest in risk assets, leading to a rise in cryptocurrency prices. Bitcoin and Ethereum initiated the rally, with altcoins like Solana and Binance Coin (BNB) following. BNB hit a new all-time high above $1,000.

Bitcoin traded at $117k (+1%), Ethereum at $4.59k (+3%), Solana at $247 (+6%), and BNB peaked at ~$1,003 before settling near $986.
