Bitcoin back at $77,000: tokenization vs. a hawkish Fed
- —Bitcoin is trading around $77,000, Ethereum around $2,400
- —The Fed raised rates by 25 bps, keeping conditions tight
- —The SEC granted an exemption for tokenized stock trading
- —A rebound driven by short covering is less sustainable than one driven by spot demand
Why it matters: The market is balancing between tight monetary policy and easing regulation of tokenization; without growth in ETF flows and spot volume, the rebound may prove unsustainable.
