Bitcoin price tops $68K, but a few concerning headwinds remain
Bitcoin price shows strength as investors expect the Fed to resume printing, but a handful of global macroeconomic headwinds are still in play.
Bitcoin (BTC) last closed above $68,000 on April 11, despite trading above $67,000 several times in the past five days. Even as Bitcoin gained 2% on May 20, another 7% move is needed to meet its all-time high. Meanwhile, gold reached a record high of $2,450 on May 20, and the S&P 500 index climbed to its all-time peak of 5,325 points. This backdrop has left BTC investors pondering the factors restraining its progress.
It can be argued that Bitcoin’s 51% gains year-to-date reflect investors’ anticipation of the monetary expansion that has recently benefited other assets. With the United States Federal Reserve needing to inject liquidity — either to support the troubled banking sector or to stimulate the economy — investors typically turn to scarce assets for protection. This inclination intensifies if there is an increasing likelihood of an economic recession.
According to UFed data, the broader U.S. monetary base (M2), which had stagnated at $20.8 trillion since May 2023, surpassed $21.0 trillion in April 2024. This shift marks the end of a contraction period that began in April 2022 when the M2 indicator reached $22 trillion. Regardless of interest rate trends, the increase in circulating money suggests rising inflationary pressures, even if companies and individuals are currently hesitant to spend.
US House to vote on FIT21 bill before holiday weekend
The legislation, passed out of committee in July 2023, would clarify how the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission and Securities and Exchange Commission handle crypto.
Republican lawmakers in the United States House Financial Services Committee announced that the House of Representatives will vote on legislation clarifying the roles of financial regulators over digital assets sometime this week.
In a May 20 X post, House Republicans said the full chamber will vote on the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century (FIT21) Act “this week,” giving the bill a chance to become law. The legislation would clarify how the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulate digital assets.
The legislation has seen little movement since lawmakers passed the FIT21 bill out of the House Financial Services Committee in July 2023. In May, Committee Chair Patrick McHenry said the House Committee on Rules could clear the bill for a vote in the full chamber.
