Bitcoin and broader financial markets moved higher after Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said he could support keeping interest rates unchanged. The comments helped lift both stocks and cryptocurrencies, while traders positioned against further gains faced substantial losses. Short sellers recorded about $415 million in liquidations as the market rally intensified, according to Decrypt. The move placed Bitcoin and Ethereum among the crypto assets drawing attention, alongside tokens including Loaded Lions, Pump.fun, REKT and Walrus. Waller’s remarks were interpreted by markets as a signal that a pause in rate changes could be possible, supporting a simultaneous advance across equities and digital assets. No specific Bitcoin price level was provided in the source material.
