Crypto Weekly (19/08 – 24/08): Fed Confirms Interest Rate Cut, Market Recovers

The cryptocurrency market showed several positive signals last week, leading to a strong surge in Bitcoin back to the $65,000 mark, which caused many altcoins to recover significantly as well.

Fed Confirms Interest Rate Cut, Market Recovers

Crypto Market Recap: Last Week

Last week, the market experienced a fairly positive recovery driven by optimistic signals, particularly the news that the U.S. Federal Reserve confirmed a rate cut next month, sparking excitement across the entire financial market. The crypto market followed suit, with Bitcoin making a strong recovery from $57,800 to a high of $65,000, marking nearly a 10% increase.

Additionally, news of Binance’s former CEO (CZ) being released from prison on September 29 has fueled investor expectations for a strong market rally by the end of the year.

Bitcoin’s impressive recovery has also lifted several altcoins, especially those on the BNB Chain network, which saw significant gains last week: ALPACA (165%), CHESS (55%), VIDT (144%), BSW (66%).

Moreover, memecoins backed by Justin Sun’s team continue to make waves, propelling several memecoins to market capitalizations ranging from tens to hundreds of millions of USD.
