The U.S. Federal Reserve balance sheet rises almost $100 billion this week, taking the total to $400 billion. The central bank continues to print more money for rescuing cash-strapped banks since the collapse of Silvergate, Silicon Valley Bank, and Signature Bank. Bitcoin and Ethereum prices have soared higher as a result, with the crypto fear and greed index rising to 61.
US Banks borrowed a combined $163.9 billion from the U.S. Federal Reserve, against $164.8 billion in the earlier week. Borrowing rates by banks have increased after the Fed raised interest rates by another 25 bps to 4.75%-5% and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said no blanket insurance for all bank deposits.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk, billionaire Bill Ackman, former Coinbase CTO Balaji Srinivasan, and Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood criticized the U.S. Federal Reserve’s rate hikes amid the banking crisis.
