Australia’s central bank cut its interest rate by 25 basis points on Tuesday to 3.6% amid low inflation, allowing monetary easing to stimulate the slowing economy. The Reserve Bank of Australia also downgraded its 2025 GDP forecast to 1.7% from 2.1%, due to weak public demand.

And in the crypto market, the SEC and Ripple Labs are ending their legal battle after jointly dismissing appeals in their XRP lawsuit. Ripple was ordered to pay $125 million instead of the SEC’s requested $2 billion, leading to appeals from both sides.
The SEC initiated the case during Trump’s first term. His promise to end crypto enforcement in his second term has led to the SEC abandoning multiple crypto lawsuits. Settlement progress has driven XRP up more than 100% from April’s $1.79 low to July’s $3.56 peak.
