Bitcoin surged above $94,000 ahead of the Fed’s expected 25bps rate cut, with analysts citing defensive market positioning and renewed U.S. investor demand.
Bitcoin jumped over $3,000 in less than an hour on Tuesday to reclaim the $94,000 level, registering a 4% 24-hour gain, ahead of the Federal Reserve’s anticipated 25 basis point rate cut. Analysts linked the move to defensive derivatives positioning, signs of seller exhaustion, and renewed U.S. investor demand reflected in a positive Coinbase premium. Ethereum rose 5%, while ADA and LINK advanced even more. Crypto stocks also rallied, led by Galaxy and CleanSpark with gains exceeding 10%. GoPlus reported $4.7M in 2025 revenue, driven by its app ($2.5M) and SafeToken Protocol ($1.7M), with its $GPS token generating $5B in spot and $10B in derivatives trading volume this year. Spot demand, rather than leverage, is driving the crypto rebound as markets await the Fed decision.
