미국 연방준비제도(Fed·연준)가 기준금리를 동결한 가운데 비트코인을 비롯한 주요 가상자산 가격이 소폭 상승했다. 

According to CoinMarketCap, as of 8 a.m. on October 29, Bitcoin was trading at $81,278, up 0.61% from the previous day.

Other major cryptocurrencies also saw gains. Binance Coin (BNB) rose 1.69% to $756.62. Solana increased by 1.35% to $102.49, while Ethereum was up 0.60% at $2,360.99. Ripple (XRP) recorded a 0.33% increase, trading at $1.32.

The Federal Reserve's decision to maintain the interest rate at 3.75% to 4.00% on October 28 has contributed to a slight recovery in investor sentiment. However, rising international oil prices continue to pose inflationary pressures. The price of Brent crude for December delivery closed at $115.32 per barrel, up 1.26% from the previous day.

The CoinMarketCap Fear and Greed Index, which reflects market sentiment, registered a neutral level of 46. A score closer to 0 indicates extreme fear, while a score near 100 suggests extreme greed.
