Since 2023, the U.S. Federal Reserve has kept the rate at 5.25โ€“5.50% โ€” the highest in two decades. How is cryptocurrency responding to this?

The dynamics have been analyzed and presented in the chart ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ” Key findings:

โœ… The period of tight monetary policy (Q2โ€“Q4 2023) is accompanied by stagnation and correction in the BTC and ETH markets.

โœ… BTC has risen by 63%, ETH โ€” by 55%, while the Fed's rate remained unchanged.
