💸 Blockchain Headlines

While not directly related to blockchain, it’s important to mention the overall-market’s reaction to the FOMC’s meeting that took place last Wednesday.

As you may have noticed, Jerome Powell made sure to put a damper on any hopes of a March rate-cut…and markets weren’t so happy about it.

We won’t go into details here, but suffice it to say this: the Fed Funding Rate currently effects all global markets. It’s therefore important to keep an eye on it for those who wish to have insight into where crypto-markets may be headed.

For more information on the FOMC’s most recent comments, you can check out the WSJ’s article here (non paywall here).
