#FOMCMeeting The June 17–18, 2025 FOMC meeting concluded with the Fed holding rates steady at 4.25%–4.50%, emphasizing a “higher for longer” stance amid sticky inflation and a resilient jobs market (kiplinger.com). Dot‑plot projections were lowered to just one rate cut this year, signaling a slowdown in easing (binance.com). Binance analysts noted that markets have priced in a pause, but all eyes are on Chair Powell’s tone—any dovish hints could fuel crypto, particularly BTC (binance.com). While immediate volatility followed the announcement, the broader crypto sentiment remains cautiously optimistic with traders eyeing potential rate cuts later in 2025.
