Bitcoin’s price was again tested on Wednesday, dropping close to $20,000 per coin before recovering to around $22,000 after the Federal Reserve announced it would continue to raise interest rates.
Федералне резерве у среду upped interest rates by 0.75%, the largest it has done in one go in 28 years. The central bank added that it wouldn’t stop there—and that more raises would come later this year.
This caused the price of Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, to drop to $20,392 Wednesday afternoon Eastern Time. It has since bounced back, and at the time of writing was trading at $21,559.63, према на ЦоинМаркетЦап.
