On May 8th, the Federal Reserve announced it would maintain the benchmark interest rate between 4.25% and 4.5% , a decision influenced by recent events including pressure from the Trump administration. This marks the third consecutive meeting with no rate cut despite recent economic contraction and ongoing inflation pressures. The Fed described the economy as experiencing steady growth , with a strong job market and inflation levels deemed manageable . Following this announcement, Bitcoin rose sharply, surpassing $99,000 and reaching $99,587 , marking the highest level in two months. Notably, other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), and Solana (SOL) exhibited stable price behavior amid minimal fluctuations. Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, emphasized the positive outlook for Bitcoin, characterizing the current economic environment as favorable for risk assets . He indicated that ongoing inflation may prompt increased interest in Bitcoin as a hedging tool . Furthermore, the Fed’s recent statements revealed a potential shift in focus towards comprehensive economic data, suggesting that a rate cut may be on the horizon if clear signs of an economic slow down are observed. Current CME rate futures reflect a rising probability of a rate cut in September, now at 68% . As correlations between traditional financial markets and the crypto sector deepen, macro policies increasingly influence digital asset valuations. Additionally, BiyaPay, recognized as the world’s first multi-asset trading wallet, offers notable features such as instant exchanges between 30 fiat currencies and 200 digital currencies . This innovative platform allows users direct interaction with U.S. and Hong Kong stock markets through seamless transactions between USDT and USD.
