Bitcoin and Crypto Are Once Again at the Center of Market Attention

Bitcoin and crypto are once again at the center of market attention. The world's most valuable coin rose following the latest Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)

Bitcoin and crypto are once again at the center of market attention. The world’s most valuable coin rose following the latest Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, hitting nearly $87,500 earlier today.

Even though prices have cooled off, the uptrend remains, and there are high expectations that Bitcoin could not only rip higher, breaking $90,000, but also reclaim $100,000.

Bitcoin Rally After FOMC Meeting

When writing, the total crypto market cap is up nearly 3%, rising to $2.8 trillion as Bitcoin and other top altcoins—considered to be among the best for investors to consider buying—are flying, adding double digits in the past week. From Coingecko, XRP is up 7% in 24 hours, pushing weekly gains to over 14%. The same trend can be seen in BNB, which is up 11% in the past week, and Polkadot, which is up 14% in the same period.

With inflation cooling and the Federal Reserve to slash rates at least two times this year, there is no doubt that Bitcoin holders are buoyant, expecting more gains in the coming sessions.

Historically, crypto and equities tend to be volatile whenever the FOMC makes decisions on monetary policies. Like in December and January, Bitcoin prices moved wildly yesterday. Although the FOMC kept rates unchanged within the 4.25%–4.5% range, this time, Bitcoin and crypto prices rose.

The Federal Reserve Chair, Jerome Powell, commented on inflation, which is currently falling, and their economic outlook, adding fuel to the fire.

On his part, Powell acknowledged that inflation will be influenced by tariffs, and for this reason, they expect the economy to slow down. GDP growth was downgraded from 2.1% to 1.7% in 2025 while PCE inflation was projected to rise to 2.8% from 2.5%.

The FOMC 2025 forecast downgraded GDP growth (2.1% to 1.7%) and upgraded core inflation (2.5% to 2.8%).

Median interest rate path did not change—possibly reflecting these offsetting influences.

Analysts interpreted this as a green light to buy and "HOLD" Bitcoin, explaining why the USD weakened as crypto assets, including some of the best meme coins to buy on Solana, moved higher.

Trump To Deliver Speech At DAS

Bitcoin could extend gains today as President Trump will deliver a recorded at 10:40am ET as he virtually attends the Digital Asset Summit (DAS) organised by BlockWorks.

In attendance will be high-profile figures in crypto, including Michael Saylor, the founder of MicroStrategy. Also in attendance will be representatives from BlackRock and Nasdaq.

This is not only bullish but means that the Trump administration is pro-Bitcoin and crypto, a net positive in the long haul.

This points to Trump’s increasing engagement and belief in crypto and Bitcoin. Last year, he delivered a keynote in person at Nashville, where he promised to make the United States the home of crypto.

There, he mentioned creating a Bitcoin reserve. Trump has since followed through on his promise. An executive order was recently signed for the United States to build a Bitcoin and crypto reserve from their current holdings. More coins will be added over the years but without using taxpayer funds.

In today’s pre-recorded speech, it is rumored that Trump could announce zero capital gains tax on Bitcoin and crypto during this event.

💥 RUMOR:

TRUMP TO ANNOUNCE ZERO CAPITAL GAINS TAX ON BITCOIN AND CRYPTO DURING CRYPTO SUMMIT SPEECH!

MASSIVE IF TRUE!!! pic.lightercoin.net/s/swpD3qvVQx

But nothing has been confirmed at this point.
