The FOMC is"strongly committed to returning inflation to our 2% objective," Fed Chair Jerome Powell said following the announcement.Wednesday afternoon, the FOMC also acknowledged this month's near banking meltdown, saying"recent developments are likely to result in tighter credit conditions for households and businesses and to weigh on economic activity, hiring, and inflation.
Still, a number of analysts were optimistic about bitcoin's price in the near future, given the bank sector's calamities."Bitcoin, straddling between being the leading risk-on asset and a financial lifeboat in the event of an all-out banking crisis, has benefitted from the recent turmoil and now the prospect that the Fed’s tightening could be over," James Lavish, managing partner at Bitcoin Opportunity Fund, told CoinDesk in an email.
Samir Kerbage, chief investment officer at crypto asset manager Hashdex, told CoinDesk via email that “while this rate hike is anegative for risk assets in general, it is positive for bitcoin and gold as this puts more stress on the banking sector."
