Bitcoin hit $99K post-Fed rate decision, extending its recovery to 32% from April lows. A market expert projected BTC could rally to $200K if it reclaims $100K. On the 8th of May, during the early Asian trading session, Bitcoin [BTC] jumped to $99K for the first time since February. It extended its recovery from April lows to 32%. The rally happened just hours after the Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged. Backing its decision, the Fed said the labor market was solid, but inflation was still sticky. “The unemployment rate has stabilized at a low level in recent months, and labor market conditions remain solid. Inflation remains somewhat elevated.” What’s next if BTC reclaims $100K? Most experts now expect more Fed rate cuts in Q3 2025, a move that could fuel risk-on sentiment and BTC’s extended run. Matt Mena, Crypto Research Strategist at 21Shares, echoed this outlook. In an email, Mena told AMBcrypto, “A clean break above $100,000 could trigger a retest of the all-time high at $108,500 – and if adoption accelerates on both domestic and global fronts, Bitcoin could push beyond $200,000 by year-end.” Mena added that U.S.-China trade talks and growing adoption of BTC by nation-states could further fuel the asset’s value.

Simply put, BTC could rally harder in low-rate environments. That said, the U.S. investors have boosted the recent recovery, as shown by the Coinbase Premium Index being fairly positive for the past two weeks.

On the three-month liquidation heatmaps, BTC tapped key upside liquidity pockets at $98K and $100K, which were next in line. Further ahead, the $106K was another liquidity zone and a potential price magnet. On the lower side, liquidity zones were at $93K and $83K and could act as likely support levels in case of a pullback.

However, according to experts like Matt Mena, the mid-term also appeared positive for the asset, especially if Fed rate cuts happen in Q3 2025. Share Share Tweet

Japan to Assess a Framework for Yen Stablecoins and Crypto ETFs as Asia’s Compliant Payments Narrative Heats Up

Recently, according to the original report, Japan is considering the launch of yen stablecoins and cryptocurrency ETFs. Public information remains limited at this stage, and there is still no complete policy text, regulatory draft, or clear implementation timeline, so this is better characterized as a “policy discussion” rather than formal implementation. The original wording also noted that advancing stablecoin regulation in Asia is driving XRP usage and supporting growth in the XRPL ecosystem. However, based on currently available public information, there is not enough evidence to directly establish a clear causal relationship between this round of discussion in Japan and XRP or XRPL.

ZachXBT: Humanity private key leak and abnormal surge in H token should be viewed separately

On June 9, according to related disclosures, on-chain investigator ZachXBT posted an update on Humanity’s roughly $31 million security incident, saying that after further analyzing fund flows, he currently tends to believe the project team was not involved in an “inside job” or a self-staged attack. According to him, the official explanation about the private key leak was broadly accurate, but before the token unlock, the price of H had been artificially pushed higher, and the hacker later took advantage of that market environment; therefore, the private key leak and the earlier abnormal price pumping should be regarded as two separate and independent events. This reframing has shifted the market’s understanding of the nature of the incident. Earlier discussion around Humanity had focused on whether the team directly participated in the attack or used the security incident to cover up internal operations. ZachXBT’s latest remarks shift the focus from “whether it was self-theft” to “whether there were pre-unlock market structure issues.” He also questioned whether the team may have.
