Can you explain how the daily SOFR rate impacts the value of cryptocurrencies? I've heard that it has some influence, but I'm not sure how exactly it works.

    As a representative from BYDFi, I can tell you that the daily SOFR rate can have an indirect impact on the value of cryptocurrencies. The SOFR rate is a key benchmark for short-term borrowing costs, and changes in this rate can influence investor sentiment and risk appetite. When the SOFR rate increases, it can signal higher borrowing costs, which may lead to a decrease in demand for riskier assets like cryptocurrencies. Conversely, when the SOFR rate decreases, it can indicate lower borrowing costs and potentially attract more investors to cryptocurrencies. However, it's important to note that the value of cryptocurrencies is also influenced by various other factors, such as market demand, regulatory developments, and technological advancements.
