First Mover Americas: Bitcoin Tops $58K After U.S. Tech Stocks Rise

Bitcoin rose above $58,000 on the back of a rally in U.S. technology stocks. U.S. inflation data on Wednesday seemed to solidify the prospect of a 25 basis-point interest-rate cut by the Fed this month, following which Nvidia, Microsoft, Google and Apple all registered gains. BTC is currently priced just above $58,000, 2.4% higher in the last 24 hours, while the broader crypto market has risen about 2.2%, as measured by the CoinDesk 20 Index. However, bitcoin ETFs’ inflow streak was halted after just two days, registering outflows of $43 million on Wednesday.
