Fed Balance Sheet Deception: What It Really Means for Bitcoin

The Federal Reserve's recent actions have sparked debate about the true nature of its balance sheet and its impact on the Bitcoin market.

On September 16, the Fed tightened short-term monetary policy by raising the federal-funds target range to 3.75-4.00%, while continuing its reserve-management toolkit in place.

The interest rate paid on reserve balances was set at 3.90%, effective September 17.

At first glance, this may seem like a tightening of monetary policy, but the Fed's actions are actually more nuanced than that.
