Bitcoin fell 1.1% to $64,215 after the Federal Reserve held its benchmark rate steady but raised its year-end 2026 rate projection to 3.8%, signaling a more hawkish path than markets had priced. The shift triggered $82.2 million in outflows from U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs and sent shares of Strategy, the largest corporate bitcoin holder, down 5.2% in premarket trading. Ether and XRP also softened as traders reassessed liquidity assumptions heading into the second half of 2026.

Bitcoin Surges to $92,000 as Spot ETF Inflows Hit $890M Single-Day Record on Stagflation Fears

Bitcoin surged to $92,000 Wednesday as a record $890 million of single-day inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs reinforced the cryptocurrency's role as a liquid stagflation hedge.

Bitcoin Surges Through $75,000 as Iran War Reshapes Safe-Haven Narrative; BTC Outperforms Gold, Stocks Since Conflict Began

Bitcoin pushed through the psychologically significant $75,000 threshold in Asian trading on Tuesday — gaining nearly 14% since the Iran war erupted on February 28 — as the cryptocurrency increasingly attracts safe-haven capital that has historically flowed to gold and the U.S. dollar. With Brent crude up more than 40%, global equities down 4%, and gold actually lower on the month, Bitcoin's relative outperformance is forcing a fundamental reassessment of digital assets' role in institutional portfolios during geopolitical crises.

Bitcoin Tumbles Below $70,000 as Cryptocurrency Markets Face Continued Pressure

Bitcoin slipped below $70,000 on Monday following last week's volatile trading that saw the cryptocurrency briefly touch $60,000.
