📉 The Fed raised interest rates.. How will crypto be affected?

Last Wednesday (September 16), the US Federal Reserve raised the interest rate by 0.25% to reach a range of 3.75%-4%, after it had been unchanged since July 2023 — the first increase of its kind in years.

Why is this important for crypto?

🔸 Raising interest rates makes investing in "safe" assets like bonds more attractive, which reduces demand for risky assets like Bitcoin and altcoins.

🔸 The dollar usually strengthens after a rate hike, which puts pressure on crypto prices because they’re priced in dollars.

🔸 Liquidity in the market is decreasing, which reduces speculation and trading overall.

The important part that no one should miss:

The decision was unanimous, and there are expectations of another rate hike before the end of the year. That means the market could stay volatile until next November’s meeting.

My personal opinion?

In moments like these, risk management matters more than ever. If you have crypto loans, review your loan-to-value (LTV) ratio well to avoid forced liquidation.
