Bitcoin didn't blink at the Fed hike. In 2022 it got demolished by the same move.
In 2022, rate hikes cracked crypto fast and hard. This week, Bitcoin absorbed a quarter-point hike with almost no reaction. That gap deserves attention.

Ethereum up 𝟐𝟔% and Solana up nearly 30% over the past month suggests the market started repricing well before the Fed decision. The hike landed on a crypto market that had already made its move 📈. #cryptocurrency
