Bitcoin edges up, gold token prices stable, market focuses on Fed policy and crypto regulation.
The market overall performed steadily today, with bitcoin and ether edging up but volatility low. Market focus turned to Fed officials' speeches, especially Waller's hawkish stance on inflation, which may affect future rate hike expectations. Meanwhile, geopolitical risks (such as the Iran war) are pushing up energy prices, adding to inflationary pressures. In the crypto market, bitcoin ETF outflows show cautious investor sentiment, but blockchain technology progress (such as Polygon fixing vulnerabilities) and growth in tokenized assets bring long-term positives. Overall, the market is in a wait-and-see mode, awaiting more economic data and policy signals.
The crypto market edged up today, with bitcoin at $78,229.94, up 0.5%, and ether at $2,457.69, up 0.61%. However, bitcoin ETF outflows indicate short-term selling pressure, with total ETF assets falling below $100 billion. Additionally, Polygon's disclosed security fix and Stellar's growth in tokenized assets show the industry's infrastructure is improving. However, the crash of Trump-related tokens reminds investors of the volatility of high-risk projects. Overall, the crypto market may remain range-bound in the short term amid regulatory uncertainty and macro factors.
Gold token prices stable, XAUT at $4,457.31 and PAXG at $4,465.53, roughly flat. The Iran war has led to surging energy import costs, potentially boosting inflation, supporting gold as a safe-haven asset. But a stronger dollar and hawkish Fed expectations cap gold's upside. Investors are watching the Fed's policy path; if rate hike expectations rise, gold may come under pressure. Overall, gold is caught between safe-haven demand and monetary policy, and may stay elevated with volatility in the short term.
