Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies surged after the US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) hinted at a potential interest rate cut in September, making risk assets like crypto more attractive. Bitcoin rose over 3% to surpass USD61,000, while Ethereum and Cardano also saw gains. The rally led to significant liquidations, with over USD126 million in total liquidations across the market. The FOMC minutes suggested a dovish stance, with a high probability of rate cuts, which could further boost risk assets. Additionally, US spot bitcoin ETFs saw positive inflows, reflecting investor optimism.
