Bitcoin’s Market Cap Jumps to $1.4T, Surpassing Silver

Bitcoin jumped to a record high on Monday, fuelled by continued positive momentum of the spot ETFs. Less activities took place over the weekend, and the amount of long liquidations is double that of short for BTC and triple for ETH. Bitcoin continues to rise in the ranks of top assets by market cap, pushing past silver to become the world's eighth most valuable property.
 
With a 4% advance to an all-time high past $72,000 in the morning hours of U.S. trading, BTC valuation shot to $1.42T, above that of sliver at $1.387T, according to CompaniesMarketCap. This rally is fueled by the positive momentum of spot Bitcoin ETFs, with the London Stock Exchange deciding to accept applications for BTC and ETH exchange-traded notes (ETNs) on Monday.

Trump pushes Fed to cut rates, but Waller may go the opposite way: Next week’s meeting faces a “three-way choice”

Bloomberg columnist Claudia Sahm believes that as Trump continues to pressure for rate cuts while inflation remains well above the 2% target, raising rates is becoming an option again, leaving Waller facing a tough decision next week. The Federal Reserve has three paths: raising rates without Waller’s support, which could trigger rare internal divisions; holding steady, which may invite criticism of political interference; or Waller leading a rate hike, which could withstand White House pressure and defend policy independence.
