Bitcoin, which has been slower to respond, is now showing signs of catching up, suggesting that institutions are less hesitant to add exposure across the board.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiven the strong rally over the weekend, we expect prices for both BTC and ETH to continue to rise, barring any tariff shocks,\u201d said Jeff Mei, COO at BTSE, told CoinDesk in a Telegram message.\u201cTraders should also watch developments around the next Fed chair nomination, plus this week\u2019s CPI and PPI releases, which could shape rate-cut expectations,\u201d Mei added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crypto markets began Monday on a high note, with ether (ETH) up more than 21% over the past seven days to $4,300 and bitcoin (BTC) climbing 3% to within touching distance of record highs.
