The Fed's latest decision has raised an interesting question for the crypto market.
On October 28, the Fed kept interest rates unchanged at 3.75%–4.00%. But the 10–2 vote caught my attention.
Two officials, Lisa Cook and Beth Hammack, actually wanted another rate hike instead of holding rates steady.
That tells us something important: the debate inside the Fed is shifting towards whether more tightening is needed.
Markets are now pricing in a significant possibility of another hike in December. Meanwhile, Bitcoin has fallen to around $77K, well below its October 2025 all-time high.
Here's what I'm watching next:
• Upcoming US inflation data • The Fed's December policy decision • Bitcoin's ability to hold its current levels
A hotter inflation reading could strengthen the case for another hike, while softer data might change market expectations.
I'm curious about one thing:
If the Fed raises rates again in December, how do you think Bitcoin and the broader crypto market will react?
Will buyers step in, or could we see more selling pressure?
Not financial advice. Always do your own research.
Honestly, I didn't expect to see news like this about Binance.
Reports say the exchange suffered a massive security attack, with the estimated impact reaching around $6.3 billion.
What caught my attention is that the initial investigation pointed to a compromised employee laptop. But Binance later uncovered additional points of breach, suggesting the attack was more complex than first reported.
Binance says around $3 billion in affected assets has been frozen with the help of industry partners. It also says there's no evidence of wallet private keys being leaked and that it will cover all losses.
Still, this incident raises a serious question.
If even one of the biggest crypto exchanges can face an attack like this, how much should we really trust centralized platforms?
Would you still keep your crypto on an exchange, or consider self-custody?
