Global Economic Stimulus Boosts Bitcoin’s Rise

Brett Munster from Blockforce Capital noted that several factors are contributing to this surge, including an increase in global liquidity.
Recent stimulus measures, particularly from China, aimed at bolstering its economy,
are helping to drive these capital inflows into the market.

On Wednesday, Bitcoin saw a 2.9% jump, reaching $68,376 before settling around $67,800.
The cryptocurrency last hit $70,000 in July, with an all-time high of nearly $74,000 recorded in March.

The Role of Global Liquidity in Bitcoin’s Growth
Munster highlighted that rising global liquidity tends to correlate with significant upward movements in Bitcoin’s price.
Central banks worldwide are injecting cheap capital into their economies,
creating favorable conditions for digital assets like Bitcoin to flourish.

Other Cryptos Also Riding the Wave

Bitcoin’s rise wasn’t an isolated event; other cryptocurrencies, such as Dogecoin and XRP,
also saw gains, with Dogecoin jumping 10% and XRP climbing by 2%.

Political Support Fuels Market Optimism
Adding to the positive sentiment were comments from U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris,
who expressed support for a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies.
For years, the sector has been seeking clarity from regulators, and with the elections nearing,
there’s hope that the next administration will be more supportive of the crypto industry.

Bitcoin as a Political Indicator
Bitcoin’s price surged by 13% over the past week, outperforming global stock indices and gold.
Some investors view this rise as an indicator that the markets are expecting a win for pro-crypto Republican candidate Donald Trump in the upcoming U.S. presidential elections.
