Bitcoin and major cryptocurrency stocks extended their gains Monday after the digital asset broke above a prolonged trading range. Bitcoin rose about 2% to just below $80,000, while Ether gained roughly 2% to around $2,500.
The rally follows a more than 20% three-day surge, the strongest such advance since 2023. According to the report, lower bond yields after the Treasury increased purchases of longer-term government debt helped revive demand for risk assets.
Crypto-focused stocks also advanced, with Strategy, Strive, Bitmine and Sharplink posting gains.
BTIG analyst Jonathan Krinsky noted that bitcoin experienced a similar breakout in 2023 before retreating. Meanwhile, Bridgewater founder Ray Dalio warned about potential debt risks and recommended investors maintain some bitcoin exposure.
