Bitcoin is fighting to stay steady above $115K after the Fed’s latest 25-basis-point rate cut, which lowered benchmark rates to 4.0%–4.25%.
While futures open interest spiked, spot volumes thinned, leaving traders divided on whether BTC can reclaim $118K or slide further. Ethereum briefly stole the spotlight with a run past $4,700, and Dogecoin posted a 40% weekly surge.
From looming ETF approvals to fresh legal battles, new stablecoin policies, and big tech predictions, this week’s crypto market news was packed with a bit of drama.
