With Federal reserve's rate hike for cryptocurrency, investors are anticipating  ETH and BTC price upsurge

The Federal Reserve raised its interest rate which has impacted the cryptocurrency too. Bitcoin and Ethereum gain 4% following the Federal reserve's rate hike. The values of Bitcoin and Ethereum are anticipated to keep rising throughout 2023 as more investors choose cryptocurrencies as a safe place for investment and to get better gains. The largest cryptocurrency in the world, Bitcoin, soared when the Federal Reserve grew interest levels by 0.25 percentage points. Due to a number of changes in the cryptocurrency industry, including an increase in asset managers and improvements in crypto regulation, Bitcoin has become more and more popular.

Altogether Federal Reserve's hike brought fortune to the crypto industry. Associating to this Jerome Powell, Chairman of the Federal Reserve stated that gradually the economy of the U.S. is settling well due to the decline of inflation. The development of the economy can be witnessed through the Bitcoin rally in crypto as it surges US$24,000. Amid this BTC rally cryptocurrency market also perceived a surge with US$1.05 trillion after plummeting in Jan 2023 to US$ 790 billion.

With the market's recent upswing, the cryptocurrency industry has recovered all of its losses from 2022. Due to a number of circumstances, including the Federal Reserve's tough rules against inflation, Bitcoin had a difficult 2022. The Fed increased by 425 base points as interest rates in seven separate increases throughout the course of the year. The Fed raised its interest four times, with base points like 75, 50 twice, and 25 respectively. Along with the recent development in cryptocurrencies, experts are also anticipating more development in economic status that proves inflation is declining.

However, investors were frightened before the announcement of Fed interest rates as they perceived more interest rates would make them lose hope in digital asset investment. To not forget the Fed's stringent regulations with increased interest rates made 2022 witness the fall of the cryptocurrency market and equity markets and consequently a decline in valuation. Due to this software stock prices declined to half of their actual worth. While BTC is still in its near-to-the-ground position as compared to its value in 2021 Nov, almost 65% down. Alongside Ethereum also experienced a downfall due to the Fed rate hikes earlier in 2022.

The crypto sector is volatile in nature and gets affected easily by the changes in the rule incurred by economic sectors. Luckily with favorable interest hikes by the Federal, it has become the best time for investors to buy the currencies at discounted prices for good returns in near future. Also, investors must remember the interest rates imposed by the Fed at 0.25% are an indication of the requirement of constraining monetary policy.

In order to fight against inflation and improve the economic status Federal Reserve has taken the initiative in surging the interest rates borrowing costs. For this reason, the Federal's recent rate hikes have been a boon to the crypto sector. Alongside, investors' contribution is making the crypto market experience gush.
