The median projection rises to 4.6 percent at the end of next year and declines to 2.9 percent by the end of 2025, still above the median estimate of its longer-run value.<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n<p>            <!-- Inline ads (all screen sizes) --><br \/>\n            <!-- Primis --><\/p>\n<p>            <!-- Inline ads (xs-lg screens) --><br \/>\n            &lt;!&#8211;<\/p>\n<div class=\"d-xl-none\">\n<div class=\"g-pt-30 g-pb-30 text-center\">\n                    Not in use\n                <\/div><\/div>\n<p>            &#8211;&gt;<\/p>\n<p>            <!-- Inline ads (xl screens) --><br \/>\n            &lt;!&#8211;<\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-xl-block\">\n<div class=\"g-pt-30 g-pb-30 text-center\">\n                    Not in use\n                <\/div><\/div>\n<p>            &#8211;&gt;<\/p>\n<p>The pseudonymous host of Coin Bureau said in a YouTube video released on September 19 that this year\u2019 interest rate hikes by the Fed \u201care the principal reason why the crypto market has been tanking in recent months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He went on to say:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Now, the higher interest rates climb, the less attractive risky assets like stocks and especially crypto will be to investors.
