Bitcoin jumped slightly on the release<\/a> of the Federal Reserve\u2019s minutes from its November meeting, the captured discussion suggesting that the central bank may make smaller interest rate increases going forward.<\/span><\/p>\n

The stock market similarly ticked up as traders digested the news.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The biggest cryptocurrency by market cap was trading for $16,498 at the time of writing, according to CoinGecko\u2014a 2.6% increase over 24 hours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ethereum also went up in value: the second biggest digital asset was up 3.3% in the past day, trading for $1,169.<\/span><\/p>\n

The rest of the market also jumped, including the ninth biggest cryptocurrency and Elon Musk favorite Dogecoin, which was up 4.8% in 24 hours, trading hands for $0.08.<\/span><\/p>\n

Typically, Bitcoin\u2014and the wider crypto market\u2014has followed U.S. equities this year. This is because digital assets are deemed riskier assets by traders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Trader Ryan Scott told Decrypt<\/i> the uptick was expected. \u201c<\/span>It seems like this is in line with market expectations. Short term traders aggressively positioned behind the release driving both crypto and equity index futures briefly,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

With the Federal Reserve upping interest rates to get sky-high inflation under control, investors have been keen to shift risk and instead put their cash into safe-havens like the U.S. dollar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While the dollar has soared in value this year, it experienced losses against the yen and euro following the release of today\u2019s minutes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, the meeting notes showed that there may be a light at the end of the tunnel. \u201cA substantial majority of participants judged that a slowing in the pace of increase would likely soon be appropriate,\u201d Wednesday\u2019s minutes said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
