Bitcoin Surges Past $115,500 Amid Growing Investor Optimism Ahead of Fed Policy Announcement

Bitcoin’s remarkable rally showed no signs of slowing on Monday, as the world’s largest cryptocurrency surged past $115,500 (approximately Rs. 1.01 crore). The renewed momentum comes amid growing optimism in global financial markets, driven by easing geopolitical tensions and mounting expectations that the US Federal Reserve could soon announce an interest rate cut. The improved macroeconomic outlook, coupled with softer inflation data, has prompted a wave of fresh buying across the digital asset space. According to CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin climbed 3.5 percent in the past 24 hours, while Ethereum (ETH) jumped 7.1 percent, reaching around $4,200 (roughly Rs. 3.7 lakh).

The upbeat sentiment has also rippled through the broader crypto market, with altcoins continuing their bullish momentum. Binance Coin (BNB) traded near $1,151 (around Rs. 1.01 lakh), while XRP remained steady at $2.65 (roughly Rs. 233). Solana (SOL) extended its impressive gains, climbing to $204.53 (about Rs. 18,010), and Dogecoin (DOGE) rose more than 6 percent to $0.21 (roughly Rs. 18.48). The synchronized rally across major tokens highlights a return of investor confidence after months of uncertainty and cautious trading.

Market analysts suggest that the recent upswing could mark a shift toward a more sustained bullish phase for cryptocurrencies, especially if the Federal Reserve confirms a dovish stance in its upcoming policy decision. The easing of US-China trade tensions and stable macro indicators have created a favorable environment for risk assets, including Bitcoin. Experts also point to increasing institutional activity, as traditional investors seek digital exposure amid declining yields in conventional markets.

According to market trackers, the global cryptocurrency market capitalization rose 3.82 percent in the last 24 hours, reaching $3.91 trillion (roughly Rs. 3,43,00,00,000 crore). The Crypto Fear and Greed Index also climbed to 42, moving out of the “fear” zone and signaling a more balanced investor outlook. While short-term volatility remains likely, many analysts believe Bitcoin could continue testing new highs if macroeconomic conditions remain supportive and liquidity in the market stays strong.

G20 watchdog warns of “significant gaps” in global crypto regulation amid market surge

The Financial Stability Board (FSB), the G20’s top financial risk regulator, has warned that major gaps persist in global cryptocurrency regulation, raising concerns that unchecked growth in digital asset markets could pose risks to financial stability.

In its review published Thursday, the FSB said that while progress has been made since its 2023 recommendations, regulatory frameworks remain “fragmented, inconsistent, and insufficient” to address the cross-border nature of crypto markets. The watchdog found that financial stability risks from crypto are limited for now, but are rising sharply as the global crypto market has doubled to $4 trillion over the past year, driven by surging bitcoin prices and a wave of new investors.

“These crypto assets can move across borders very easily, much more easily than other financial assets,” said John Schindler, the FSB’s secretary general, calling for stronger global cooperation.

One of the key weaknesses identified was the lack of clear and comprehensive rules for stablecoins, digital tokens typically pegged to the U.S. dollar. The market for stablecoins has grown by nearly 75% over the past year, reaching $290 billion, yet few countries have introduced complete regulatory frameworks.

The report examined 29 jurisdictions — including the U.S., EU, Hong Kong, and the UK — but noted uneven implementation and limited coordination, especially with countries such as El Salvador, which did not participate despite being home to Tether, the world’s largest stablecoin.

The FSB urged governments to accelerate rule-making and improve cross-border cooperation, warning that non-aligned jurisdictions could create regulatory blind spots. “Even if countries have their own rules, crypto companies operating offshore can still affect their markets,” Schindler said.

The warning follows recent market turbulence, including the largest crypto crash in history last week that triggered nearly $20 billion in liquidations, reviving fears of contagion risks.
