FOMC
Keeps
Rate
Cut
Streak
Going

IBIT’s
massive
inflows
come
amid
an
interest
rate
cut
from
the
Federal
Reserve’s
FOMC.
Following
the
50
basis
points
reduction
it
announced
for
September,
the
FOMC
lowered
its
benchmark
overnight
borrowing
rate
to
a
target
range
of
4.50%-4.75%.

The
latest
interest
rate
cut
had
a
positive
impact
on
the
crypto
market,
which
saw
its
capitalization


climb over
2%
in
the
last
24
hours. 

Market
leaders


Bitcoin

(BTC)
and
Ethereum
(ETH)
kept
their
bullish
momentum
going
following
a
spike
after
Donald
Trump
won
the
US
election,
posting
gains
of
more
than
1%
and
3%.

BTC
is
subsequently
up
over
9%
on
the
weekly
time
frame,
while
ETH
rose
16%
in
the
same
period.
