Bitcoin (BTC-USD) is rallying off of the Federal Reserve's landmark interest rate cut, rising over $3,000 since the central bank's announcement yesterday. Crypto stocks like Riot Platforms (RIOT), MicroStrategy (MSTR), exchange platform Coinbase (COIN), and bitcoin miner Marathon Digital (MARA) are climbing higher Thursday morning. Morning Brief hosts Seana Smith and Brad Smith weigh in on what the rate-cutting environment means for the crypto space, referencing Standard Chartered head of crypto research Geoff Kendrick's forecast that sees bitcoin skyrocketing to $200,000 by the end of 2025 regardless of who wins this year's presidential election.

Shares of cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) jumped 6.5% in the morning session as markets roared back after an initially muted response to the Fed's rate cut, which sparked a renewed appetite for risk assets. While investors were expecting a reduction in rates from the US central bank, there was a bit of back and forth on whether the cut would be 25bps (a quarter percent) or 50bps (half a percent).
Cryptocurrency News: Bitcoin swung to its highest level in almost a month, sending miners, exchange-trade funds and related stocks into a steep early rally Thursday. The gains followed Wednesday's Federal Reserve announcement of its first interest rate cut in four years. Among related stocks, miners including Bit Digital, Hive Digital, Iris Energy and CleanSpark all rallied more than 6% in premarket action.
