The publication of the last Federal Reserve meeting's minutes passed virtually unnoticed for Bitcoin and Ethereum, which in itself is telling.
The document confirmed the unanimous decision to maintain the rate in the 3.50-3.75% range, but what was more important was the rhetorical detail: the central bank removed even the hint of further monetary easing from the statement. Typically, such a scenario is a bearish signal for risk assets, including the cryptocurrency market. The Fed directly links the persistent inflation above the target of 2% with tariffs, energy prices, and the conflict in the Middle East.
The lack of reaction from Bitcoin to such a fundamentally tough document can be logically explained by the fact that the market has already endured the main shock earlier. It was the first Fed meeting under Kevin Warsh's leadership in June when the updated dot plot turned from a forecast of cuts to a forecast of hikes, and the wording about easing completely disappeared from the statement, which marked the event that truly crashed the crypto market and set the current tone. The minutes merely documented ex post the market movements that had already been played out weeks earlier. Nevertheless, fundamental pressure on the crypto market from monetary policy remains fully intact. The Fed's hawkish stance means that cheap money capable of fueling another bullish cycle will not emerge in the foreseeable future, while the likelihood of a rate increase, should inflation continue to rise amid tariffs and AI investments, adds yet another layer of uncertainty to an already tense backdrop.
