The Federal Reserve’s (Fed) latest meeting left crypto investors uncertain, with Powell’s cautious tone suggesting no imminent rate cuts and the potential for further declines in cryptocurrency markets. While some anticipated a boost from easing tariffs or increased Fed action on inflation, Powell emphasized ‘uncertainty’ instead, leading to investor unease. This uncertainty has triggered concern regarding the stability of risk markets, including cryptocurrencies. The lack of decisive commitments to rate cuts, despite potential tariff effects, further indicates a cautious approach by the Fed. Further developments in the US economy and inflation remain crucial for cryptocurrencies as it could impact their outlook.
