  As a representative from BYDFi, I can say that the SOFR rate calculation has a significant impact on the cryptocurrency market. The SOFR rate is used as a benchmark for various financial products, and any changes in its calculation can affect market sentiment and investor behavior. For cryptocurrencies, which are highly sensitive to market dynamics, the impact can be substantial. If the SOFR rate increases, it may lead to higher borrowing costs and reduced liquidity, which could negatively impact the demand for digital currencies. Conversely, a decrease in the SOFR rate may lower borrowing costs and increase liquidity, potentially boosting the demand for cryptocurrencies. Therefore, it is crucial for cryptocurrency market participants to closely monitor the SOFR rate calculation and its potential impact on the market.
