What happened

Well supportedReported by 11 independent outlets

The U.S. Federal Reserve announced it would raise interest rates by 25 basis points in an effort to lower inflation. This move raises the Fed Funds Rate to a range of 3.75% to 4%. The central bank also signaled that another 25-basis point rate hike is likely this year due to inflation running above 3%. On September 17, Bitcoin was trading near $77,000 after having fallen close to $75,000.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The rate hike was expected to be negative for risk assets like stocks and crypto. However, digital assets were rising alongside stocks following a relief rally after the Fed and its Chair asserted their independence and acted decisively on inflation. President Donald Trump has publicly called for the central bank to slash its trendsetting Federal Funds Rate to 1% to stimulate the American economy.

Trump, Scott Bessent, and PayPal are involved in discussions and actions regarding a strategic Bitcoin reserve and crypto purchases.
