Crypto
markets bounced sharply higher and bitcoin (BTC) targeting $67,000 on Wednesday as U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell hit a dovish tone after the central bank maintained its outlook for three rate cuts this year despite hotter-than-expected inflation figures.
Bitcoin (BTC) hit a $67,781 daily high, recording a more than 10% recovery from level seen hours earlier. Ether (ETH) erased its 6% dip earlier in the day that had been triggered by news reports about the
Ethereum Foundation facing a confidential inquiry from an unnamed government and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission considering classifying the asset as a security.
Dogecoin (DOGE), litecoin (LTC) and bitcoin cash (BCH) led gains among major cryptocurrencies as people finally noticed a Coinbase plan, posted on a U.S. regulator's website several weeks ago, to offer futures contracts on them.
