The price of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: $BTC) and other cryptocurrencies strengthened heading into the weekend after a volatile week dominated by an interest rate hike from the U.S. Federal Reserve
On the afternoon of Sept. 18, Bitcoin was up 6% and trading at $80,850 U.S. The largest cryptocurrency had been trading near $75,000 U.S. on the eve of the U.S. interest rate decision on Sept. 16. Other digital ****** ets were gaining strength at week's end, with Ethereum (CRYPTO: $ETH) also up 6% and Solana's (CRYPTO: $SOL) price rising 11%.
It's proving to be a quick recovery for digital ****** ets after the U.S. central bank raised its trendsetting Fed Funds Rate by 25 basis points, its first hike in three years. Crypto appears to be staging a relief rally as the market welcomes slightly higher interest rates that are used to dampen inflation.

Coinbase Global (NASDAQ: $COIN) has filed for regulatory approval to list perpetual futures tied to individual large-cap U.S. stocks, opening the door to 24/7 leveraged trading of shares such as Apple, Microsoft, Tesla and Nvidia on a regulated U.S. platform.
The exchange plans to offer contracts linked to roughly 50 to 60 major stocks, with trading potentially starting later this year if regulators approve the products, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Perpetual futures, commonly known as perps, are derivatives that do not have an expiration date. Traders can keep positions open indefinitely, while leverage can magnify both gains and losses.

Crypto volatility is likely to remain elevated as investors weigh the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decision and the CLARITY Act's failure to advance in a key Senate procedural vote, according to Simon-Peter Massabni, head of business development at XS.com.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: $BTC) fell more than 2.5% to around $75,600 on Tuesday, while Ethereum (CRYPTO: $ETH), Solana (CRYPTO: $SOL), Cardano (CRYPTO: $ADA) and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: $DOGE) also traded lower.
The Senate's failure to advance the CLARITY Act was a major source of market uncertainty. Senators voted 49-50 on Tuesday, falling well short of the 60 votes required to move the legislation forward. The bill aims to establish a federal framework for digital ****** ets and clarify the regulatory roles of the Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

The White House said Tuesday that banning yield on stablecoins would do little to increase bank lending, pushing back against estimates that stablecoin rewards could result in large amounts of deposits leaving the traditional banking system.
In an update to an April ****** ysis by the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA), the White House said eliminating stablecoin yield would increase bank lending by about $2.1 billion under its baseline ****** umptions. That represents just 0.02% of outstanding bank loans.
Community banks would account for roughly $500 million of the additional lending, or about 0.03% of their loan books, according to the ****** ysis.

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: $BTC) and other cryptocurrencies were down to end the trading week on Sept. 11 as the odds of an interest rate hike in the U.S. continued to rise. Futures markets now see a greater than 70% chance that the U.S. Federal Reserve raises interest rates by 25-basis points at its meeting on Sept. 16.
Markets ratcheted up their expectations for higher interest rates following a hot U.S. inflation report for August, and as crude oil hovers near $100 U.S. a barrel for the first time since May of this year. Higher interest rates are negative for risk **** ets such as crypto. As a result, Bitcoin was trading at $77,500 U.S. at week's end, down from a recent high of $82,000 U.S.
Other digital **** ets were also under pressure, with Ethereum's (CRYPTO: $ETH) price right around $2,500 U.S. Despite the pullback, crypto prices remain sharply higher than where they were a month ago, when Bitcoin was trading below $65,000 U.S. BTC peaked at an all-time high of $126,198.07 U.S. on Oct. 6 of last year.
