Here’s what the U.S. Federal Reserve decided on July 31:
They didn’t lower interest rates
Rates stay the same: 4.25% to 4.50%
Why no change?
Inflation is still higher than the Fed’s 2% goal
The job market remains strong
The Fed is being cautious and doesn’t want to act too soon
What does this mean for crypto?
Right now, it’s a neutral move — neither good nor bad for crypto
If inflation drops, the Fed might cut rates in September
A rate cut could boost $BTC , $ETH
, and other altcoins
What to keep an eye on:
Monthly inflation data (CPI, PCE)
U.S. job reports
Comments from Fed officials
This is a time to be patient — big market changes often come after quiet decisions like this.
