The Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time since 2023, delivering a move that Wall Street had almost unanimously anticipated, according to Decrypt. Bitcoin spiked following the decision, putting the cryptocurrency in focus as markets absorbed the latest U.S. monetary-policy action. The report did not provide details on the size of the increase or specify Bitcoin’s price or percentage move. The decision is relevant for crypto-market participants because changes in Federal Reserve policy can draw attention to major digital assets, including Bitcoin. Moneyiar is tracking the reaction across the crypto market, with Bitcoin listed among the assets linked to the report. The related asset set also includes Decimal (DEL), RedStone (RED) and Walrus (WAL), although the source supplied no separate performance data for those tokens. The development was reported by Decrypt on September 16, 2026.
