Hawkish FED Rattles Markets: Why Crypto Traders Are Playing Defense (June 2025 Update)
The FED's latest hawkish rhetoric sends shivers through risk assets—while crypto markets yawn at the lack of fresh catalysts.
No liftoff in sight
Powell & Co. double down on "higher for longer" as traders ditch hopium for cold, hard reality checks. Bitcoin's sideways shuffle continues.
Catalyst drought continues
No ETF approvals, no halving hype, just the grinding monotony of a market waiting for its next fix of institutional validation.

- Fed holds rates steady; hawkish tone raises stagflation fears
- ETF inflows rebound, signaling institutional confidence
- Market decline slows, but no clear short-term catalyst in sight
