Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee To Convene Shortly The Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee is set to convene with the crypto market at a crossroads as investors await signals that could influence digital asset valuations. Analysts believe the Federal Reserve will maintain its benchmark interest rates between the 4.25%-4.50% range amid rising concerns about inflation and economic stability. BTC displayed resilience ahead of the meeting, holding above the crucial $95,000 mark, with ETH and other altcoins also registering notable increases. Analysts and investors will wait for Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s statements to indicate the Federal Reserve’s policy. A dovish tone suggesting potential rate cuts or a slowdown in quantitative tightening could inject optimism into the markets and drive BTC toward $100,000. Meanwhile, a hawkish stance could indicate inflation concerns and lead to a tighter monetary policy, leading to a price drop, with BTC falling towards $90,000. Crypto Spending Will Continue To Grow Petr Kozyakov, CEO of crypto payments platform Mercuryo, believes the future of finance could be a blend of digital assets and fiat currency, with each being used where it makes the most sense. According to Kozyakov, while crypto payments are witnessing a substantial increase, they won’t replace fiat payments. The Mercuryo CEO believes both asset classes will co-exist, with people choosing the more convenient payment options. “We don’t think crypto will replace fiat. They will coexist, and people will turn to crypto when it’s the easier, more practical option, whether that’s for payroll, yield, or money transfers.” Kozyakov also discussed the growth of crypto as a salary payment option as more companies settle employee salaries with crypto. “That is a growing trend. I see a lot of businesses that are starting to settle with their full-time employees and with their gig employees all over the world, in crypto.” However, he believes this could result in several challenges as employees paid in crypto may ask what they can do with their funds. “You won’t invest everything and just wait. You need to use it for everyday purchases.” Bhutan Partners With Binance Pay To Launch World’s First Crypto Tourism Payment System Bhutan has announced a partnership with Binance Pay to implement a national-level crypto payment system for its tourism industry. The country’s innovative mechanism allows travelers to use Binance Pay and experience truly cashless journeys. The initiative is a collaboration between Binance Pay and the fully digital DK Bank, allowing travelers using Binance Pay to experience a seamless, secure, flexible, and end-to-end payment experience. Over 100 merchants are live with DK Bank and Binance Pay, allowing users to book flights, make everyday purchases, and more, to enjoy the convenience and efficiency of digital payments while traveling to Bhutan. Richard Teng, CEO of Binance, stated, “We are excited to partner with Bhutan as we are not only advancing the use of cryptocurrencies in travel but also setting a precedent for how technology can bridge cultures and economies. This initiative exemplifies our commitment to innovation and our belief in a future where digital finance empowers global connectivity and enriches travel experiences.” Damcho Rinzin, Director of the Department of Tourism, Bhutan, stated, “This is more than a payment solution — it’s a commitment to innovation, inclusion, and convenience. It enables a seamless experience for travelers and empowers even small vendors in remote villages to participate in the tourism economy.” The partnership marks the first time a tourism product has accepted crypto at a national level. It also addresses common barriers to digital payments, including high transaction fees and limited merchant acceptance. Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis Bitcoin (BTC) rallied on Tuesday and extended its gains during the ongoing session as the US-China trade deal talks progress. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is traveling to Switzerland to meet with Chinese representatives. Despite registering substantial gains on Tuesday, BTC faces considerable selling pressure at $97,000, a level it is struggling to overcome. The flagship cryptocurrency surged to an intraday high of $97,751 during the ongoing session before retreating. Despite the decline, BTC is up over 3% in the past 24 hours, as bulls eye the $100,000 mark. The rebound indicates a resurgence in investor interest as the US and China confirmed that top-level officials will meet for trade talks in Switzerland. The announcement led to growing optimism about a de-escalation between the world’s largest economies. However, markets remained jittery after President Trump said on Tuesday that he does not plan to sign any trade deals soon. The US and China have shown little interest in de-escalation after slapping tariffs of over 100% on each other. Price action has also picked up ahead of the upcoming FOMC meeting. Alankar Saxena, co-founder and CTO of Mudrex, stated, “While a rate cut remains unlikely, any move toward quantitative easing could inject fresh liquidity into the market, further supporting risk assets like crypto. If BTC breaks the resistance at $97,900, a decisive move above the $100,000 mark is possible, with support standing at $93,700.” BTC traded in the red over the previous weekend, registering a marginal decline on Saturday and dropping almost 1% on Sunday to settle at $93,803.
