The key signal released by the FOMC meeting minutes is: Fed officials are still not satisfied with inflation, and most officials believe that another rate hike in 2026 could be appropriate.
After the news broke, the crypto market came under clear pressure. BTC briefly fell to around $83,088, with a 24-hour drop of 2.8%; ETH fell about 5% to $2,547, XRP dropped 5% to $1.42, and SOL also fell by more than 3%. 📉
🔥 Why is the market so sensitive?
Because investors are no longer trading just “whether there will be a rate hike this time,” but rather—whether the Fed might still tighten policy further in the future.
The minutes show that all 19 officials supported a rate hike in September, and most officials think another hike in 2026 may be appropriate.
Even more importantly, officials believe there is still an upside risk to inflation.
Oil prices, tariffs, and energy costs—these traditional factors are pushing up market concerns about inflation.
But this time there’s another relatively new variable:
🤖 AI.
Fed officials discussed that AI investment expansion could lead to higher demand for more labor, equipment, and electricity. While it may stimulate economic growth, it could also create short-term price pressure.
At the same time, rising U.S. Treasury yields and factors such as AI-related debt issuance and Treasury repo activities were also included in the financial conditions assessment.
This means the market is currently facing a fairly tricky combination:
The economy still has resilience, but inflation hasn’t been fully resolved; AI investment is strong, but it may also bring new demand pressures; rising Treasury yields, which further affect financial conditions.
📌 For BTC, the most important impact is liquidity expectations.
If the market starts repricing “the Fed may continue to hike rates,” high-risk assets will naturally face pressure. And BTC has already fallen to around $83,000.
That’s extremely crucial.
