Crypto Market React After Fed Rate Hike

In its quest to combat inflation, the Fed on Wednesday raised interest rates by 25 basis points, bringing the interest rates to 4.75%, and according to the chairman of the US Federal Reserve Jerome Powell, the Fed is likely to continue to raise the interest rates until the prices of goods and services come down.
