Bitcoin hits $69,000, ether jumps 10% as Treasury buybacks, SEC crypto proposal fuel market rally
Bitcoin prices climbed above $71,000, marking the largest surge since March and breaking a six-week trading range. Ether rose 10% as the broader crypto market rallied. The price action follows a combination of Treasury bond interventions, falling yields, and an SEC crypto proposal. The rally was amplified by a short squeeze that wiped out $3 billion in short positions. Other assets including XRP and Hyperliquid also saw gains, while Bitcoin briefly touched $70,000 for the first time since June before continuing its upward trajectory toward $72,000.
