In 2018, Fidelity became one of the first large financial institutions to warm up to the then-rising asset class by launching a number of Bitcoin-centric products and services.
Dogecoin leads crypto market gains
Finally, the crypto market sentiment is also buoyed by the announcement that crypto proponent Elon Musk has finalized the purchase of Twitter for $45 billion.
In turn, Musk’s very cryptocurrency Dogecoin (DOGE) has experienced an enormous spike in the last 24 hours. At press time, DOGE was trading at $0.1652, up 32.68% over 24 hours and 18.16% across the week.
Specifically, DOGE has added over $5 billion to its market cap in 24 hours as it leads the top 100 cryptocurrencies in terms of total gains. Finally, Finbold recently reported DOGE has just reached a four-month high in transactions by whales, suggesting that they may be positioning for a big price move in the future.

A Crucial Event is Approaching, Pay Attention to Friday: This Could Be the Fed's Most Important Event This Year

Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh is preparing to deliver one of his most significant speeches this week at the Jackson Hole symposium. Markets and Fed officials are focused on a fundamental question: Is persistently high U.S. inflation due to temporary shocks like tariffs and the war with Iran, or is the economy still too strong from a demand perspective? The answer could determine whether the Fed will raise interest rates in the coming period. Investors will scrutinize Warsh's Friday speech for clues about his economic assessment and the conditions under which he might tighten monetary policy. The outlook is interpreted through two scenarios. One suggests inflation has exceeded the Fed's 2% target for over a year due to temporary shocks and may recede spontaneously. The other warns these events mask deeper economic imbalances, where strong demand allows companies to keep raising prices, potentially necessitating rate hikes. While recent softer inflation data has eased pressure for a September rate hike, concerns remain that the Iran war, new tariffs, and a surge in AI investment could exert lasting upward pressure on prices. Divisions within the Fed are growing, with some officials pushing for further tightening, citing robust consumer spending and labor demand, while others believe price pressures may ease on their own. A notable feature of Warsh's tenure has been his reduced guidance to markets, arguing central bankers talk too much. However, this reluctance to share his own views may be making it harder to build consensus, as evidenced by three dissenting votes for a rate hike last month—the highest in nearly a decade. Market reactions are being closely watched. Following the July meeting, the yield on the 30-year U.S. Treasury note rose to its highest level since 2007, suggesting investors believe the Fed might tolerate slightly higher near-term inflation but could require more significant future rate increases. Therefore, the Jackson Hole speech is crucial not only for near-term rate expectations but also for understanding how Fed policy communication will be shaped under Warsh's leadership.

SEC sends crypto custody rule overhaul to White House for review

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has sent a proposed overhaul of its custody rules for investment advisers and funds to the White House for review. The changes aim to provide clearer guidance on how institutions can hold cryptocurrency assets for clients while complying with federal securities laws. The proposal was submitted to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs on August 25. Once reviewed, it will return to the SEC for a potential vote to release it for public comment. The move is part of the agency's broader shift under Chair Paul Atkins towards formal rulemaking for crypto, moving away from its previous "regulation through enforcement" strategy. This follows the SEC's dismissal of several high-profile crypto cases in 2025.

Bitcoin dips below $78K as stocks, gold fall on higher US PCE Inflation data

Bitcoin fell below $78,000 after the release of higher-than-expected US PCE inflation data for July, which showed a 3.7% year-on-year increase versus a forecast of 3.6%. The data pressured risk assets, with US stocks and gold also declining. Markets now await Nvidia's Q2 earnings report as a potential short-term volatility catalyst. Analysis warns that Bitcoin's recent weekly gains of over 25% could constitute a bear market relief rally. Trader Rekt Capital highlighted the importance of Bitcoin's upcoming monthly close, noting that a failure to break a pattern of lower highs since October 2025 would confirm the downtrend. Key resistance to watch is the 50-week exponential moving average around $77,251.

Analysts Have Identified Three Key Signals for Bitcoin's Next Move

Analysts have identified three key macroeconomic signals that could determine Bitcoin's direction this week. The first is the upcoming July PCE inflation report in the US. A reading higher than expected (forecast at 3.2% year-over-year) could fuel fears of a Federal Reserve rate hike, putting pressure on Bitcoin, which is already showing signs of being overbought after retreating below $79,000. Markets currently price in a 40% chance of a September rate increase. The second signal is Nvidia's Q2 earnings. Strong results could bolster risk appetite, which is relevant for Bitcoin given its positive correlation with Nvidia's stock. Bitcoin recently had its largest weekly dollar gain ever, rising from ~$63k to ~$79k. The third catalyst is Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's speech at the Jackson Hole symposium. Investors will watch for clues on future policy, especially regarding Treasury yields. For the bullish trend to continue, analysts say Bitcoin needs to hold above its 365-day moving average near $83,000. Some forecasts remain optimistic, with Bernstein predicting a rise to $125,000 by end-2026 and a cycle peak near $300,000 in 2029.
