ECB raises interest rate by 0.5 percent, what does this mean for Bitcoin?

The European Central Bank has raised interest rates again. The central bank’s three main interest rates have been raised by 0.5 percentage point, bringing the deposit rate to 2.5 percent. The Bitcoin price has reacted mildly negatively to the fifth interest rate increase in a row by the ECB.

Today’s rate hike of 50 basis points (0.5%) is the same size as the last one implemented in December. The European Central Bank (ECB) has also announced its intention to raise interest rates again by half a percentage point at its next policy meeting in March. After this, there will be an evaluation of how to proceed with the interest rate.
