Key Fed Statement Rocks Markets, Crypto Awaits Reaction

Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller has expressed support for an interest rate cut at the upcoming September meeting, causing investors to anxiously wait for the potential impact on digital assets. Waller's statement aligns with Fed Chair Jerome Powell's call for a monetary policy adjustment. However, Waller did not specify the extent of the cuts. This signals that a policy easing might occur at the September meeting. The cryptocurrency market has shown little reaction to Waller's comments so far. Lower interest rates are viewed as beneficial for speculative assets like cryptocurrencies, as they can potentially drive up prices by encouraging investors to seek better returns in riskier assets.
