• Bitcoin briefly crossed $95,000, triggering strong momentum across the crypto market before a mild cooldown.
• Ethereum followed with strength, jumping above $3,300, confirming broader risk-on sentiment.
• The rally is being driven by progress on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, expected to move forward this week in Washington.
• This bill aims to clearly define regulatory roles between the SEC and CFTC, ending years of uncertainty for crypto companies and investors.
• Regulatory clarity reduces legal risk, opening the door for institutional funds, banks, and exchanges to increase exposure.
• SEC leadership has described the move as modernizing financial markets — often a signal that big money is preparing to step in.
• Bitcoin is now up around 5% in 2026, though still well below its previous peak above $126,000, leaving room for upside.
• Ethereum’s 10% rise shows this is not a single-asset move, but a broader shift in market confidence.
• After months of pressure, traders are reacting to something rare in crypto: optimism backed by real legislation, not just hype.
