Bitcoin jumps above $63,000, reversing end-June losses
Bitcoin prices have rebounded above $63,000 following a period of volatility, supported by positive macroeconomic indicators and a cooling inflation outlook. Other major cryptocurrencies like XRP and Ether also saw gains as market liquidity remained thin during the U.S. holiday.
Why it matters
The recovery reflects the sensitivity of crypto markets to U.S. monetary policy and macroeconomic data, signaling potential shifts in investor sentiment.
XRP led the day's majors, up 5.3% to $1.18 and nearly 10% on the week, a move that lifted it past the USDC stablecoin to fifth place by market value at about $73 billion.
