Top Cryptocurrencies like Fartcoin, Bonk, Jasmy, and Ondo Finance Prices Surged on Friday

These tokens soared as the U.S. Dollar Index, commonly referred to as the DXY, plunged to a low of $99, its lowest level since 2022.

Fartcoin, Bonk, Jasmy, and Ondo Finance prices surged on Friday as the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) plummeted to its lowest point in over three years, while American stock indices soared.

What Happened: Fartcoin token rose to $0.8910, hitting its highest point since January 12 and marking a 365% increase from its lowest price point this year.

The second-biggest Solana meme coin, Bonk, advanced to $0.00001245, with Jasmy and Ondo prices also rising by 10%.

These tokens soared as the U.S. Dollar Index, commonly referred to as the DXY, plunged to a low of $99, its lowest level since 2022. It had imploded by over 11% from its highest level this year.

The dollar plunged as bond market and trade war turmoil intensified. Ten-year government bond yield, also known as Treasury yield, is expected to hit 4.6% from this month’s low of 3.85%. Bond yields and prices move in different directions.

A falling U.S. Dollar Index is usually a good thing for cryptocurrencies like Fartcoin, Bonk, and Jasmy because it is a sign that the Federal Reserve may decide to cut interest rates soon.

Additionally, these tokens also jumped as American stock indices soared. The Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq 100 indices jumped by over 1.5% as some investors started to predict that stocks had bottomed.

Why It’s Important: Odds of Fed Cuts rose this week after the U.S. published encouraging inflation data on Wednesday. The headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) decreased from 2.8% in February to 2.4% in March, while the core CPI moved from 3.1% to 2.8%.

Rising inflation and unrest in the financial markets are two biggest threats to the U.S. economy.

Falling inflation and rising risk of a recession because of the trade war are catalysts for a Fed cut. Historically, cryptocurrency prices rise whenever the Fed is slashing rates, as was observed during the COVID-19 pandemic, when Bitcoin and other altcoins saw significant price increases.

The other potential catalyst for these altcoins is Donald Trump’s tax bill that passed the House of Representatives. That bill will make the 2017 tax policy permanent and cut some more taxes, like those on tips and overtime pay.

The other major fiscal policy to watch is on bailouts on key industries because of Trump’s trade war. Trump is expected to request stimulus checks for farmers as tariffs from China and other countries. Stimulus checks usually lead to more demand for risky assets.
