Bitcoin is experiencing its best September performance since its launch in 2009, thanks to China’s recent stimulus measures and expectations of further rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. The world’s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization has seen a 12.3% increase this month and a 58% rise so far in 2021. With China cutting interest rates and supporting its economy, along with potential additional rate cuts in the US, global liquidity increases, creating a bullish environment for Bitcoin and other risk assets.
