Bitcoin Boosted by Fed’s Decision, Not Trump’s Actions

  • Bitcoin price tops $60,000 due to the Federal Reserve’s rate cut
  • Crypto traders weigh Trump’s recent crypto-related actions
  • Fed’s decision to cut rates by half a percentage point boosts Bitcoin and stock prices
  • Ether climbs 4.4% to $2,429, Solana up 7.7% to $139
  • Crypto stocks gain ahead of opening bell: Block, Coinbase, MicroStrategy

Bitcoin’s price surged past $60,000 due to the Federal Reserve’s rate cut, while Donald Trump’s crypto-related actions have had minimal impact on digital asset prices. The largest token by market capitalization increased by 4% to $62,465 in the last 24 hours. Despite recent flatlining, it still trades 17% below its March record high. The Fed’s decision to cut rates by half a point sparked a rally in stock prices as well. Crypto traders are also considering Trump’s launch of a platform called World Liberty Financial and his promises to build a Bitcoin reserve and replace SEC chief Gary Gensler, but analysts believe macroeconomic factors drive digital asset prices. Yuya Hasegawa from Bitbank suggests the Bank of Japan’s policy decision could influence Bitcoin’s next move. Ether climbed 4.4% to $2,429, Solana rose 7.7% to $139, and crypto stocks like Block, Coinbase, and MicroStrategy also experienced gains.
