Every decision made by the American Federal Reserve shapes the global economy and influences the cost of credit, the direction of investments, and the stability of financial markets. At its first meeting of 2025, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) chose to keep interest rates unchanged, despite Donald Trump's persistent calls for monetary easing.

The crypto market alternates between spectacular surges and abrupt corrections, and Solana is no exception. After a tumultuous start to the year marked by heightened volatility, the SOL token has lost 17.2% in just three days, bringing its price down to $235.

On the other hand, Total Value Locked (TVL) soars by 27%, surpassing Ethereum and BNB Chain, thanks to platforms like Raydium and Binance Staked SOL.
