Interest rates are one of the biggest tools the Fed has for influencing the economy. By lowering rates, the Fed can stimulate economic activity, making it cheaper to borrow. On the other hand, by raising interest rates, the Fed can slow economic activity, making credit more expensive — which is a useful strategy to fight inflation.
The Fed raised rates 11 times during the last tightening cycle starting in 2022, and it’s easy to spot when markets really took notice that the central bank wasn’t kidding about recalibrating monetary policy. It was November 2021 when cryptocurrency and many of the riskiest stocks peaked.
While interest rates were moving higher, many stocks were moving lower, anticipating slower economic conditions. But when investors got a clearer picture of the end of rising rates in 2023, the stock outlook became more optimistic.
Major stock indexes such as the S&P 500 spent most of 2022 in a funk due to rising rates, but they fared well in 2023. The S&P 500 rose about 24% in 2023 and 23% in 2024, and then ended 2025 with a 16% annual return after rebounding from a meltdown over President Trump’s tariffs in April.
In 2022, cryptocurrency prices struggled as interest rates looked to move higher. When rates began to top, crypto prices bottomed and then rose in 2023 and throughout 2024. The introduction of bitcoin ETFs initially helped boost the price of bitcoin, ethereum and other cryptocurrencies, but prices deteriorated throughout the end of 2025 while other assets, including precious metals took off to new highs.
The Federal Funds Rate is the interest rate at which U.S. banks lend to each other overnight, might seem worlds apart from Bitcoin, but in today’s interconnected financial world, the two are surprisingly linked. As the Federal Reserve adjusts this key rate, ripple effects spread across global markets, and Bitcoin often moves right alongside them.
How the Fed Moves Shape Bitcoin
The Federal Reserve raises rates to cool inflation or cuts them to stimulate the economy. When rates go up, borrowing gets more expensive, businesses slow spending, and investors often retreat to safer assets like bonds. That cautious mood can spill into the crypto world, reducing the flow of capital into high-risk assets like Bitcoin. On the flip side, when the Fed lowers rates, money becomes cheaper and liquidity increases. Investors, hunting for returns, often turn to speculative or alternative assets, and Bitcoin tends to benefit. Bitcoin’s reputation as a potential hedge against inflation also comes into play when low rates raise concerns about weakening fiat currencies. Risk Appetite, Liquidity, and Sentiment Bitcoin’s price is tightly intertwined with market risk appetite. In a high-rate environment, risk tolerance often drops, pulling money away from crypto. In low-rate, high-liquidity environments, risk appetite surges, and Bitcoin can see sharp inflows. Market sentiment also matters. A surprise Fed rate cut or dovish policy shift can spark optimism across financial markets, lifting Bitcoin along with equities. Conversely, an unexpected rate hike often cools enthusiasm, putting pressure on Bitcoin prices.
Why Bitcoin Watchers Track the Fed In the end, Bitcoin’s relationship with the Fed Funds Rate reveals how deeply Bitcoin is embedded in the broader macroeconomic landscape. While Bitcoin was born as a decentralized alternative to government-controlled money, its price today dances to the same economic tune as stocks, bonds, and commodities.
