Crypto Holding Ground After Fed Rate Hike

Dow Jones
3 hours ago

1512 ET - Cryptocurrencies are roughly flat on a 24-hour trailing basis after the Federal Reserve raised rates as expected. Sector leader Bitcoin is slightly higher than where it was 24 hours earlier, and half a percentage point higher than where it was this morning, according to data from CoinGlass. Other top coins are in the green as well. The market took a tumble on Tuesday after the Senate blocked an industry-friendly bill, setting up Wednesday's rate decision as the next big driver of price action. While higher interest rates make risky assets like crypto less attractive, the broader market seems to have priced in a rate hike, and a rate hold wouldn't have done much to loosen the tight backdrop that Bitcoin is currently facing, analysts at Glassnode say in a report.
