The recent surge in the crypto market comes despite investor worries regarding the regulation of stablecoins and the future monetary policy of the Federal Reserve to curb inflation.
Analyst Notes: “Bitcoin is starting the day initially higher despite broad risk aversion on U.S. data that suggests the economy could handle much more Fed tightening. Crypto traders are also learning more about proposed rule changes for which crypto firms can custody customer assets,” said Edward Moya, a senior market analyst at OANDA.
"It seems crypto regulation is about to get clearer and guidelines for qualified custodians will require being a registered-broker dealer, futures commission merchant, or trust/foreign financial institution. Bitcoin resilience is somewhat impressive here given the bond market volatility and steady flow of regulation headlines."
Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe said suggested buying the dip at $22,300 for potential long-term gains, adding that “we'll continue the upwards trend from here.”
