Bitcoin Price Breaks Record Streak. The Fed Rate Decision Is Weighing on the Crypto.
Bitcoin price fell early Wednesday, pulling back somewhat from a record high earlier this week as investors’ attention turned to the next interest rate decision by the Federal Reserve. The world’s largest cryptocurrency is down 3.2% over the last 24 hours to $103,989, according to CoinDesk data. Cryptocurrencies across the board got a boost Tuesday after Ripple, the payment platform that issues the digital token XRP which used to settle payments on its platform, announced the beginning of trading of a new stablecoin under the name RLUSD.
