The release
Released by the Federal Open Market Committee on 17 June 2026 at 2:00 PM EDT. The Federal Open Market Committee held its target range for the federal funds rate at 3.50–3.75%.
How XRP moved
XRP was at $1.2200 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 1.64% lower, and an hour later 0.82% lower. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 2.46% of its price, against 0.82% in the hour before.
Measured by Clometrix
XRP's volume ratio was 5.37x, against a typical 5.48x. Its volatility ratio could not be measured: the price barely moved through the rest of the day, so there is no ordinary quarter hour to compare against. The ratio compares the quarter hour of the release with an ordinary quarter hour that same day, where 1.00x is no change.
What made it matter
Since 2021, Fed decisions that changed the rate have moved XRP more than those that held it: a median volatility ratio of 5.10x across 18, against 2.24x across 26. This one held it.
Its record
Across 44 Fed Interest Rate releases since 2021, XRP's median volatility ratio is 3.61x.

What is the Federal Reserve Interest Rate Decision?
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has eight regularly scheduled meetings each year, but they can meet more often if the need should arise. The meetings are not held in public and are therefore the subject of much speculation on Wall Street, as analysts attempt to predict whether the Fed will tighten or loosen the money supply with a resulting increase or decrease in interest rates.
