Fed’s Report Vain to Crypto; ETH ETF Outflows Raise Concerns

Recent Federal Reserve decisions to keep interest rates unchanged had a negative impact on overall crypto market conditions. The report showed potential rate changes from September.

Short-Term Pressures vs. Long-Term Potential

According to a recent report by QCP Broadcast, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting resulted in a clearly dovish stance, with a September rate cut now fully priced in. However, this positive sentiment did not translate to the crypto markets. The market saw a broad sell-off overnight.

Several factors are contributing to the cautious mood among crypto traders. Daily outflows from Ethereum ETFs remain a concern, potentially putting downward pressure on ETH prices. Additionally, the market is closely watching potential supply increases from Mt. Gox creditor repayments and U.S. government Bitcoin sales.

Looking beyond these immediate pressures, the crypto landscape could be on the verge of a major shift. Discussions among U.S. Presidential candidates and Senators about establishing a sovereign Bitcoin reserve are gaining traction.

If implemented, such a move could fundamentally alter the cryptocurrency ecosystem, potentially providing a price floor for Bitcoin.

The concept of a U.S. or sovereign “put” on Bitcoin prices is particularly intriguing. It suggests that government backing could create a safety net for Bitcoin’s value.

The overall crypto market cap has nosedived by 5.15% in the last 24 hours. Bitcoin fell below the $63,000 level, whereas Ethereum is struggling to hold the $3,110 level.
