The BTC price <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">jumped</a> over 3% in the last 24 hours to trade at $69,510.03 as of 3:40 a.m. EST as the crypto industry’s overall market cap jumped by an identical amount.
The Bitcoin price pump follows Trump’s landmark pro-crypto speech at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville on July 27.
Trump said he’d fire Securities and Exchange Commission chair Gary Gensler on day one if he regains the White House in November’s election, would set up a strategic Bitcoin reserve, and make the US the world capital of the crypto industry.

With the next FOMC meeting scheduled for July 30 to 31, analysts anticipate that the central bank may hint at a potential interest rate reduction. Such a cut is expected to take place at theSeptember FOMC meeting and could see a transition from a restrictive monetary policy to a more neutral stance.
Currently, the FOMC is expected to maintain interest rates at between 5.25% and 5.50% until a cut is announced. Factors including subsiding inflation, increasing unemployment and declining consumer spending all point to a potential rate cut.
