Mysterious Trader Moves $122 Million in Bitcoin Ahead of Fed's Rate Decision
A large Bitcoin holder moved approximately $122 million worth of BTC between two unidentified wallets just hours before the Federal Reserve announced a rate hike. The transaction occurred on September 16, as markets anticipated potential changes to interest rates and followed a setback for the CLARITY Act in the U.S. Senate. The Fed raised its federal funds target range by 25 basis points to between 3.75% and 4%, marking its first rate increase since 2023 due to concerns about elevated inflation levels. This decision contrasts with President Donald Trump's calls for lower interest rates, highlighting a policy divergence. Bitcoin prices remained relatively stable after the Fed’s announcement, suggesting that much of the expected market reaction had already been priced in.
