The Fed Makes Its Decision Today — Here's What It Could Mean for Crypto and Your Portfolio

WHY IT MATTERS

Think of the Federal Reserve as the entity that controls the price of borrowing money in the United States. When borrowing is cheap (low interest rates), people and businesses are more willing to invest in riskier things — including crypto. When borrowing gets expensive (high interest rates), money tends to flow out of risky investments and into safer ones like savings accounts or government bonds. So even though the Fed doesn't directly regulate crypto, its decisions have a huge influence on whether money flows into or out of the crypto market. That's why every Fed announcement day is a big deal for crypto investors.
