Crypto Holds Steady Amid Treasury Yield Surge Ahead of Fed Decision

The Federal Reserve's September 16 decision will have significant implications for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP as treasury yields approach 5%.

Bitcoin has been holding steady around $77,000, while Ethereum is near $2,500 and XRP is trading at $1.35-$1.40 after a volatile week dominated by inflation and oil markets.

Despite the surge in Treasury yields, crypto prices have not broken substantially lower, which is becoming an increasingly interesting signal.

Coin Paper's analysis suggests that investors may be shifting their focus from what the Fed will do to what happens after the decision, as the uncertainty surrounding the meeting begins to disappear.

Mark Connors, CIO of Risk Dimensions, argues that the bond-market move may reflect something broader than conventional rate expectations, citing persistent inflation and rising oil prices as reasons for elevated long-term yields.
