Bitcoin nears $100K as Fed holds rates steady; Ethereum, Altcoins surge up to 8%

  • Bitcoin neared the $100,000 mark on Thursday following the U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision to maintain the current interest rate during its latest policy meeting.
  • The Fed's decision came after several quarters marked by easing inflation and steady economic expansion, with Chair Jerome Powell stressing that future policy adjustments would depend on incoming data.
  • This dovish stance triggered a rally across cryptocurrencies and equities, underpinned by renewed investor confidence and a surge of over $4.7 billion into Bitcoin ETFs.
  • Bitcoin surged more than 6% in 24 hours to a 2025 high near $98,820, while Ethereum, supported by its growing DeFi ecosystem, rose close to 7.5% to trade above $5,400.
  • The sustained ETF inflows and large whale wallet accumulation suggest potential continued upward momentum, although experts advise traders to monitor risks and key support levels closely.
