The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting held on May 6–7, 2025, concluded with the Federal Reserve maintaining interest rates at 4.25%–4.5%, aligning with market expectations. Fed Chair Jerome Powell adopted a cautious tone, highlighting uncertainties stemming from ongoing trade tensions and persistent inflation.
In the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading around $96,996, reflecting a 2.42% increase following the FOMC announcement. Analysts suggest that a dovish stance from the Fed could propel BTC past the $100,000 mark, while a hawkish approach might lead to a price dip.
The next FOMC meeting is scheduled for June 17–18, 2025, where further clarity on potential rate cuts may emerge.
