Crypto Market Edges Higher After Fed Holds Rates Steady

The crypto market edged higher Thursday, July 30, 2026, with total value near $2.17 trillion after the Federal Reserve held rates at 3.50% to 3.75%. According to BeInCrypto, the move lifted Bitcoin and gold even as Wall Street fell and Treasury yields climbed.Most major coins traded flat, but Uniswap (UNI) stood out, rising about 6% to $4.00 and roughly 40% on the month. The token’s rally came as DeFi drew fresh attention, though BeInCrypto said volume remains the key constraint.
