Bitcoin rebounds above $73,000 after Fed hints at possible rate cut

On 2025-11-05 Bitcoin surged past the $73,000 mark, gaining roughly 4.2% in a single trading session. The rally was triggered by the Federal Reserve’s post-meeting commentary suggesting that a 25-basis-point rate cut could be implemented in the fourth quarter if inflation continues to ease. Traders interpreted the dovish tone as a catalyst for risk-on assets, prompting renewed buying pressure on Bitcoin, which had been hovering near $70,000 for the previous two weeks.

The price jump underscores Bitcoin’s sensitivity to macro-economic policy, especially U.S. interest-rate expectations. A potential Fed rate cut could lower the cost of capital, making speculative assets like Bitcoin more attractive to institutional investors. If the dovish stance materializes, we may see sustained inflows into Bitcoin, bolstering its role as a hedge against fiat-currency depreciation and possibly narrowing the gap to its historical highs.

SEC approves new spot Bitcoin ETF from Global Asset Management

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced on 2025-11-03 the approval of a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) launched by Global Asset Management (GAM). The ETF, tickered GBTC-B, will hold physical Bitcoin in custodial accounts and will be listed on the NYSE. The SEC cited the fund’s robust custody framework, insurance coverage, and compliance with the Investment Company Act as key factors for approval, marking the first major U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF since the 2024 wave of approvals.

The ETF’s launch is likely to widen retail and institutional access to Bitcoin, reducing reliance on custodial wallets and unregulated platforms. By providing a regulated, tradable product, the ETF can attract capital from pension funds, endowments, and other entities constrained by compliance requirements. This influx could lift Bitcoin’s market liquidity, compress spreads, and potentially drive the price upward as demand from traditional finance channels grows.

China relaxes mining regulations, permits renewable-powered Bitcoin farms

On 2025-10-28 the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued new guidelines allowing Bitcoin mining operations that source at least 80% of their electricity from renewable energy to operate legally in designated pilot zones. The policy reverses the 2021 crackdown and aims to align mining with China’s carbon-neutral goals. Several large-scale solar-and-hydro farms in Inner Mongolia and Sichuan have already applied for licenses, signaling a potential resurgence of Chinese hash-rate.

Re-entry of Chinese miners could re-balance the global hash-rate distribution. An influx of renewable-powered hash-rate may enhance Bitcoin’s energy-efficiency narrative, mitigating environmental criticisms. However, a rapid increase in mining capacity could exert downward pressure on block rewards and transaction fees, affecting miner profitability and potentially prompting short-term price volatility.

El Salvador launches Bitcoin-based digital ID linked to national ID cards

El Salvador’s Ministry of Digital Transformation announced on 2025-10-20 the rollout of a blockchain-backed digital identity system that embeds a user’s Bitcoin wallet address into their national ID card. The system, built on the Bitcoin Lightning Network, enables citizens to receive government subsidies, pay taxes, and verify credentials without intermediaries. Pilot testing began in three municipalities, with full nationwide deployment slated for early 2026.

Integrating Bitcoin into a sovereign digital-ID framework showcases a practical use case beyond store-of-value, potentially boosting adoption in emerging markets. If successful, it could inspire other governments to explore Bitcoin-centric public-service models, increasing on-chain activity and transaction volume. However, regulatory scrutiny and privacy concerns may arise, and the initiative’s scalability will be pivotal for its impact on Bitcoin’s broader ecosystem.

Visa rolls out Bitcoin settlement option for European merchants

Visa announced on 2025-10-15 that its European payment network will support direct Bitcoin settlements for participating merchants. The service leverages Visa’s proprietary crypto bridge to convert Bitcoin into euros in real time, allowing merchants to receive payments in Bitcoin while mitigating volatility risk through instant conversion. Early adopters include major e-commerce platforms and a network of brick-and-mortar retailers in Germany and France.

Visa’s entry into Bitcoin settlement signals growing institutional confidence and mainstream acceptance of the cryptocurrency as a payment method. Real-time conversion reduces price-risk barriers, likely encouraging broader merchant adoption. Increased merchant usage can drive transaction volume on the Bitcoin network, supporting fee market dynamics and reinforcing Bitcoin’s narrative as a viable global settlement layer.
