Bitcoin surged above $81,700 and Ethereum topped $2,600 following the Federal Reserve's unanimous 25 basis point rate hike, the first since 2023, signaling an end to the rate cut/pause cycle. The rally was further fueled by fresh regulatory moves: the CFTC filed a crypto market prerule and the SEC introduced a five-year innovation exemption allowing limited trading of tokenized US stocks on-chain. Despite geopolitical tensions and mixed market views on the Fed's timing, these developments helped crypto markets regain momentum, with Bitcoin trading between $75,000 support and $87,000 resistance. Investors will watch if Bitcoin can sustain above key levels amid broader economic and geopolitical uncertainties.
