Fed holds rates steady as FOMC votes 10-2, sets repo terms that may shape Bitcoin liquidity

The Federal Reserve held its target rate at 3.75%-4% on Oct. 28, with the Federal Open Market Committee voting 10-2 in favor. The directive permits conditional Treasury-bill purchases to maintain ample reserves, a move that could influence short-term liquidity conditions affecting Bitcoin. Standing repo rate is set at 4% and reverse repo at 3.75%, with a $160 billion daily limit per counterparty.
