Cardano Pumps 16%, Bitcoin Could Pop to $100K After Fed Rate Cut
Cryptos surge with ADA up 16% and BTC eyeing $100K after Fed rate cut.
Cardano's ADA surged by 16% within 24 hours, becoming a leader among major cryptocurrencies thanks to a marketwide rally, renewed interest in decentralized finance, and increasing appeal to retail investors. This uptick coincided with a rise in Bitcoin to over $76,000, along with positive movements in ether and Solana, pushing the CoinDesk 20 Index up by 3.5%.
The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points, aiding risk assets like Bitcoin by increasing liquidity and lowering the dollar's strength. This action, alongside over $1.3 billion net inflows into U.S. Bitcoin ETFs, primarily BlackRock’s IBIT, encouraged traders to consider a $100,000 target for Bitcoin's near-term price, indicating robust market optimism.
Experts suggest Bitcoin could reach $100-110K within months, noting the potential strategic value of Bitcoin reserves for the U.S. motivated by Trump's campaign promises. However, some caution about potential short-term pullbacks due to election-related shifts and fiscal policies like proposed tariffs on China and concerns about national debt impacting market sentiment.
