Ethereum has dropped towards $2,310 on Thursday after briefly rallying towards $2,350 following the Federal Reserve maintaining its benchmark interest rate range at 3.75%–4.00%. The Federal Open Market Committee voted 10–2 to hold rates steady following September's 25-basis-point increase. Officials described economic activity as growing at a strong pace despite heightened geopolitical uncertainty, while emphasizing that inflation remains elevated. The committee said incoming data would guide its assessment of the policy needed to return inflation to its 2% target. ETH initially gained around 1% following the announcement, although the decision was widely anticipated. However, it has lost its gains and is now down 2.1% in the last 24 hours.
