How did today's Fed decision affect the crypto market?
The Federal Reserve said Wednesday that it will keep interest rates near zero, but how did that affect the crypto market?
The rates are unchanged
The benchmark U.S. short-term interest rate will remain in its current range of 0% to 0.25%, according to a statement from the Fed's monetary policy body, the FOMC. "With inflation well above 2% and a strong labour market, the Committee expects it will soon be appropriate to raise the target range for the federal funds rate," the Fed said in a statement after the two-day, closed-door meeting.The Fed's latest decision comes when the central bank has already scaled back its asset purchase program. Under that program, tens of billions of dollars in new money have been made available each month to buy government bonds and mortgage securities. That program is scheduled to end as early as March, and many traders and economists expect the Fed to begin raising interest rates at its meeting this month.
How has this affected the crypto market?
Bitcoin reacted quite positively to the announcement, rising 2.5% since the FED decision and trading at around $38,900 immediately afterward. However, as with most events, some traders began to quickly sell off the news, causing Bitcoin to fall back to $37,755. Although Bitcoin saw a slight positive movement today, it had a sharp decline earlier in the month, heavily influenced by the Fed's plans to tighten monetary policy, and is still down almost 10% on a weekly basis.Some analysts even believe that Fed pressure could hurt Bitcoin returns in 2022, as they believe the Fed is moving much faster than they once expected. Analysts also speculate that the Fed could start raising rates by half a percentage point in March, as Fed Chairman Jerome Powell has stated that there is plenty of room for rate hikes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
