Bank of England Cuts Interest Rate to 3.75% in Line With Expectations

The Bank of England has lowered Bank Rate by 0.25 percentage points to 3.75%, its fourth cut of 2025, citing faster‑than‑expected disinflation and a weakening UK economy.

Lower borrowing costs generally support “risk‑on” sentiment by easing financial conditions and nudging investors away from cash and bonds into higher‑yielding assets, including equities and cryptocurrencies.

However, with growth still fragile and inflation above target, the BoE signalled that future cuts will be cautious, which could limit any immediate upside for Bitcoin and altcoins and keep macro‑driven volatility elevated. Source: FXstreet
