Meanwhile, during their recent policy meeting, US Federal Reserve officials unanimously opted to maintain interest rates, expressing caution due to concerns about the impact on households and businesses, and pledging a vigilant approach to inflation control. However, the officials haven’t suggested anything possible rate cuts at the latest minutes, which seems to have weighed on the market sentiment.

The Dogecoin price was down 3.89% to $0.07412 as of writing on Wednesday, with its trading volume soaring 20.42% to $846.02 million.
