The Federal Reserve's interest rates remain unchanged, while the cryptocurrency market hides long-term variables beneath short-term tranquility.

In the early hours of June 19, 2025, the Federal Reserve issued a 'confidence booster' — the June interest rate decision (upper limit) remains unchanged at 4.5%, perfectly aligning with the previous value and expectations. Upon this announcement, the cryptocurrency market's fluctuations seemed to be paused, but the long-term 'ripples' have just begun to surface.

The Federal Reserve's interest rates have always been the 'guiding stick' of the global financial markets. This time, the stability of interest rates has first stabilized the liquidity expectations in traditional financial markets, and the capital flow in the cryptocurrency market has not seen any significant shifts in the short term. Following the news, mainstream coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum did not experience dramatic price fluctuations, and trading activity remained steady, indicating that the market had already mentally prepared and 'digested' this rate stabilization.

But don’t be fooled by the short-term calm! In the long run, if the Federal Reserve changes its stance on interest rates, the cryptocurrency market will have to 'accelerate its heartbeat.' If subsequent economic data prompts the Federal Reserve to adjust interest rates, whether it is raising rates to 'tighten the faucet' or lowering rates to 'release water and nurture fish,' it will greatly impact investors' risk appetite. If rates are raised, traditional financial investment returns will become more attractive, and capital may stage a 'great escape' from the cryptocurrency market; if rates are lowered, funds will seek high returns, and cryptocurrencies, being high-risk and high-reward assets, may become the 'darling' and attract a wave of capital inflow.

This interest rate stability is a 'tranquility signal' for the cryptocurrency market in the short term, but as the cryptocurrency market and traditional financial markets become increasingly intertwined, the subsequent direction of the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy will undoubtedly be a key external factor influencing the trends of the cryptocurrency market. All cryptocurrency players should keep a close watch and be ready to respond to sudden market changes!
