With the expectation of further rate cuts heading into 2024, analysts say this could be a “positive boost” for crypto stocks and investment products.
A decision from the United States Fed to pause and possibly lower interest rates next year will likely serve as a “positive boost” for cryptocurrencies and crypto stocks.
In a Dec. 13 interview with Bloomberg, Blackrock fund manager Jeffrey Rosenberg described the Fed’s rate pause — and its hint at rate cuts next year — as a “green light” for investors, with the S&P 500 rallying 1.37% on the decision.
Crypto stocks have witnessed significant gains on the back of the announcement too, with shares of Coinbase (COIN) and MicroStrategy (MSTR) respectively spiking 7.8% and 5% on the day, while Bitcoin miner Marathon Digital (MARA) jumped 12.6%.
