In Bitcoin news today, the Federal Reserve held the federal funds rate at 3.5%–3.75% on Wednesday in what was almost certainly Jerome Powell’s final meeting as chair, with an 8-4 FOMC vote revealing a committee more fractured than the headline hold implies. Bitcoin traded near $76,000 by late Wednesday in New York, down from $77,000 earlier in the session, extending a roughly 40% drawdown from October 2025’s all-time high near $126,000.
