As interest rates rise, **it becomes more expensive to hold money as cash**.
When interest rates increase, the opportunity cost of holding cash rises because you forgo the interest income you could earn by investing that money in interest-bearing accounts or securities. Therefore, people and firms are incentivized to either invest their funds or reduce their cash holdings.
