Fed Holds Rates Steady — Bitcoin Shrugs

The US Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged at 4.25%–4.5%, just as markets widely expected. Over 98% of Polymarket bets predicted today’s pause — and they were right.While markets look ahead to the September FOMC, where the odds of a cut are rising, political pressure is mounting.

Donald Trump, never one to stay silent, ripped into Fed Chair Jerome Powell earlier today:“So, we have a stupid person... he’s costing the country a fortune.”“Europe had 10 cuts and we had none.”Despite the noise, Bitcoin remains unfazed, holding steady around $104,200.

GDP forecasts are lower.

Inflation projections are higher.

September might be the real pivot point.
