The BNB/USD coin held steady after the Federal Reserve interest rate decision. The Binance Coin rose to a high of $405, which was the highest level since April 29th. It has risen by more than 6.25% from its lowest level this month, bringing its market cap to more than $67 billion.

Fed Rate Hikes

The Federal Reserve has a major impact on all financial assets, including cryptocurrencies and stocks. In a period of easy money, investors tend to invest in relatively risky assets like cryptocurrencies and growth stocks. On the other hand, they tend to invest in other safe assets when rates start rising.

The BNB price has been in a strong bearish trend in the past few months as the Fed and other central banks turned increasingly hawkish. The Fed made its first interest rate hike in March this year and hinted that it would implement more hikes this year.

On Wednesday, the bank decided to hike interest rates by about 0.50%, which was in line with expectations. Therefore, BNB is rising since the decision was in line with what analysts were expecting. At the same time, with the American economy slowing, there is a likelihood that future rate hikes will not be as severe as expected.

The BNB/USD rally is in line with what other assets have done. For example, the Dow Jones and Nasdaq 100 indices rose by more than 2% after the decision. The same trend has happened in Europe, where the DAX and Stoxx 50 rose by more than 2%.

The BNB price is also rising after Binance received its operating license in France as it seeks to grow its business in Europe. Further, the networks total value locked (TVL) has risen by more than 2.8% to over $12 billion.
