PANews reported on January 31st that, according to Coindesk, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated in an interview that cryptocurrencies are in the late stages of a bear market bottom, paving a volatile but constructive path for stronger growth in 2026. Cryptocurrencies were in a bear market for most of 2025, with many altcoins falling by more than 60%. Bitcoin avoided even greater losses, primarily thanks to continued buying from corporations and ETFs. He described the current situation as a "bottoming out," characterized by weak ETF liquidity and low retail participation.

Hougan predicts Bitcoin will trade sideways between $75,000 and $100,000 in the first half of this year. He reiterated his view that Bitcoin could reach approximately $6.5 million per coin within the next 20 years. Hougan stated that the core assumption is not accelerated adoption, but rather continued global debt growth, money supply expansion, and currency devaluation. He believes Bitcoin is an upgraded version of gold, and central banks are only just beginning to understand its role. "As long as the future doesn't change much from the past 15 years, we will achieve our goal. It's just a matter of time."

Fed rate decision September 2025

Fed rate decision September 2025

The post Fed rate decision September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday approved a widely anticipated rate cut and signaled that two more are on the way before the end of the year as concerns intensified over the U.S. labor market. In an 11-to-1 vote signaling less dissent than Wall Street had anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point. The decision puts the overnight funds rate in a range between 4.00%-4.25%. Newly-installed Governor Stephen Miran was the only policymaker voting against the quarter-point move, instead advocating for a half-point cut. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, looked at for possible additional dissents, both voted for the 25-basis point reduction. All were appointed by President Donald Trump, who has badgered the Fed all summer to cut not merely in its traditional quarter-point moves but to lower the fed funds rate quickly and aggressively. In the post-meeting statement, the committee again characterized economic activity as having “moderated” but added language saying that “job gains have slowed” and noted that inflation “has moved up and remains somewhat elevated.” Lower job growth and higher inflation are in conflict with the Fed’s twin goals of stable prices and full employment.  “Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated” the Fed statement said. “The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment have risen.” Markets showed mixed reaction to the developments, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up more than 300 points but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posting losses. Treasury yields were modestly lower. At his post-meeting news conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell echoed the concerns about the labor market. “The marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers is unusual in this less dynamic…
