Crypto Market Recap of Last Week

In the third week of September 2024, Bitcoin experienced significant growth, with its price rising from $57,570 to surpass $64,000 (a 9% increase). This price surge was largely driven by the Fed’s announcement of a 50-basis point interest rate cut, marking the first rate cut in four years. This news had a profound impact not only on the financial markets but also extended to the crypto market, helping Bitcoin recover swiftly.

Bitcoin’s strong recovery also led to price increases in many Altcoins, with standout growth seen in the AI and Layer-1 sectors.
