According to Crypto Rover, the Federal Reserve has left interest rates unchanged as of June 18, 2025, a development that typically provides short-term stability for risk assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Historically, unchanged rates tend to reduce volatility in the crypto market, as traders adjust expectations for liquidity conditions and risk appetite. Market participants may see this as a signal to maintain or initiate positions in major cryptocurrencies, with BTC and ETH prices likely to respond to subsequent Fed commentary and macroeconomic data.

According to The Kobeissi Letter, the U.S. Federal Reserve decided to leave interest rates unchanged for the third consecutive meeting on May 7, 2025, signaling ongoing caution amid persistent inflation described as 'somewhat elevated.' The Fed also highlighted increased uncertainty about the economic outlook and noted that risks of both higher unemployment and inflation have risen. These factors often drive volatility in cryptocurrency markets, as traders reassess risk and seek alternative assets during periods of monetary policy uncertainty. The Fed's stance is likely to influence Bitcoin price swings and overall crypto market sentiment as investors react to signals on future rate moves. (Source: The Kobeissi Letter, May 7, 2025)
