Bitcoin rose above $65,000 as global markets awaited U.S. consumer inflation data due this week. Friday’s soft jobs report supported bitcoin and other risk assets, but the inflation reading will provide the rally’s next test. Global equities advanced, with the MSCI All Country World Index recording its seventh gain in eight sessions. The jobs report also helped send the S&P 500 to a record, while semiconductor companies led gains in Asian markets. Bitcoin, however, received little support from developments within its own ecosystem. The past ten days brought a fourth wave of sweeps involving Coldcard-generated wallets, a critical BTCPay Server flaw that drained merchant Lightning nodes on Friday, and a BIP-110 chain split that produced two blocks before stalling. Among other major cryptocurrencies, Solana was the strongest performer and traded near $77. Ether changed hands around $1,919, BNB reached $603, and Tron held at 33 cents. XRP was the only major cryptocurrency down both on the day and over the week, slipping to $1.03. Hyperliquid’s HYPE fell to $54 but remained higher for the week, while Dogecoin eased below 7 cents. Brent crude climbed to $84.40 a barrel after Iran rejected talks with the United States and an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz remained out of reach. The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield rose one basis point to 4.66%, while the dollar strengthened against most major currencies. An inflation reading that restores expectations of higher interest rates could pressure bitcoin. Somali investors and people using digital assets for cross-border transfers therefore face a market that may react sharply to the U.S. data.
