Bitcoin Roars Past $70,000 as Yields Sink, Trump Sparks Optimism

The rally followed lower Treasury yields, $3 billion in short liquidations and renewed optimism after Trump met crypto executives, traders said.

  • On Wednesday, Bitcoin touched $70,000 for the first time since June, propelled by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's bond buyback operations and a meeting between President Donald Trump and crypto executives.
  • The rally marks a shift for a market searching for a bottom since October, when Bitcoin peaked above $126,000 before a sharp selloff that continued through this year.
  • Institutional demand surged, with large holders adding roughly $2.75 billion in 60 days and US-listed spot ETFs recording significant inflows from Monday to Wednesday.
  • President Trump urged Congress to pass the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, telling executives the body needs to "take the next step" and pass a fair version of the legislation.
  • Separately, the World Health Organization announced Thursday that Congo will receive 70,000 Ervebo vaccine doses to combat an Ebola outbreak that has killed 2,476 people out of 5,208 confirmed cases.
