The Federal Reserve’s FOMC Meeting Minutes landed at 18:00 UTC on 7 October 2026, and the sharpest reaction on our feed came from Uniswap, with UNIUSD down 0.70% in the 30 minutes since the release.
Where crypto moved against the dollar
UNIUSD led the move, slipping from 7.824 to 7.7695, a decline of 0.70% and the only sizeable swing on the board.
Polkadot ran the other way: DOTUSD firmed from 1.0950 to 1.1000, a gain of 0.46%. The Graph edged up alongside it, with GRTUSD rising from 0.02730 to 0.02740, up 0.37%.
The remaining majors barely moved. LTCUSD ticked from 65.945 to 66.055 (+0.17%), DOGUSD from 0.08835 to 0.08845 (+0.11%), and MATUSD slipped marginally from 0.1013 to 0.1012 (-0.10%).
What the reaction shows
The reaction was lopsided rather than broad. UNIUSD carried almost all of the downside, while Polkadot and The Graph accounted for the modest upside and the rest hovered close to their pre-release levels.
Outside Uniswap, the response reads as muted: four of the six instruments moved less than half a percent, and two shifted by barely a tenth. The minutes drew a single standout mover rather than a uniform crypto swing against the dollar.
