Crypto markets wobble after hawkish Fed outlook in Kevin Warsh's first FOMC meeting

Major cryptocurrencies edged lower on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady but released hawkish economic projections in Kevin Warsh's first meeting as chair. Bitcoin traded around $64,150, down roughly 2.2% over the past 24 hours, while ether fell 3.6%.

"Taken together, the picture is one of a crypto market absorbing a hawkish macro backdrop while rotation and genuine demand continue to surface in the strongest names," said Matt Mena, senior crypto research strategist at 21Shares.

Fidelity, State Street Enter Stablecoin Market With Compliant Reserve Management Funds

idelity Investments is the latest Wall Street firm seeking a role in one of the fastest-growing corners of digital assets: managing the reserves that back stablecoins.

The launch comes just days after State Street unveiled a similar product, the State Street Stablecoin Reserves Money Market Fund, underscoring how traditional financial firms are increasingly competing for a market that could swell into the trillions of dollars if stablecoins become a larger part of the global financial system.
