Let’s talk about something that might sound boring but has a huge impact on your investments: interest rates. On September 17, the U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to lower rates—a move that could inject fresh energy into the crypto market.
Why Interest Rates Matter
Lower interest rates make borrowing cheaper and increase the amount of money circulating in the economy. When this happens, investors tend to take more risks—and crypto, especially altcoins, often benefits.
Altcoins Thrive in Risk-On Environments
Altcoins are like the startups of crypto: high risk, high reward. When investors feel confident, they chase bigger returns.
Real Example: Chainlink (LINK)
In January 2021, LINK was priced around 11.25 dollars (about 1,234 shillings). By May 2021, it hit 52.76 dollars (about 5,793 shillings). Buying 50 LINK for 562.50 dollars (61,725 shillings) and selling at the peak would return 2,638 dollars (289,650 shillings)—a 369 percent gain in just five months.
