Bitcoin edged above the $107,000 mark on Monday after a turbulent weekend driven by escalating tensions between Iran and Israel.
The world’s largest cryptocurrency was trading at $107,092, up 1.25% over the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap.
Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded net inflows of $5.23 billion last month, matching levels observed around the time of US President Donald Trump’s election earlier this year. This period triggered a wave of bullish sentiment across the crypto market.
Meanwhile, Ether rose 1.48% over the past 24 hours, trading at $2,569.
The resilient performance was also seen in the early-stage project Bitcoin Pepe.
The project has continued to attract inflows since its presale opened in February.
Over the weekend, the Bitcoin Pepe presale has seen inflows worth over $250,000.
What will the US Fed do?
The week’s key market-moving event is the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday.
The CME Group’s FedWatch Tool shows a 96.7% probability that the Federal Reserve will keep its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 4.25% to 4.50%.
However, political pressure is mounting.
President Donald Trump has called for an aggressive 100 basis point rate cut, warning that the White House may “have to force something” if the Fed fails to act, according to a report by the Financial Times.
Beyond the rate decision, market participants are also watching for regulatory signals.
Analysts noted that any updates from the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Treasury Department, particularly regarding ETFs or stablecoin frameworks, could significantly influence investor sentiment and capital flows into crypto markets.
Bitcoin Pepe’s momentum continues
Bitcoin’s resilience amid macroeconomic uncertainty has lifted overall sentiment across the crypto market, setting the stage for a renewed wave of speculative activity.
Historically, such conditions have preceded broader rallies, particularly in high-volatility segments of the market.
In this environment, investors are once again rotating into riskier assets, with meme coins emerging as early beneficiaries of the shift.
One of the standout names gaining momentum is Bitcoin Pepe, a project that blends viral internet culture with a Layer 2 blockchain framework.
Positioning itself as an attempt to “build Solana on Bitcoin,” Bitcoin Pepe aims to fuse the security of the Bitcoin network with Solana-like scalability—an infrastructure vision that sets it apart from typical meme tokens built purely on social momentum.
Unlike many meme coins that lean heavily on hype, Bitcoin Pepe is backed by a defined technical roadmap and infrastructure-first narrative.
This positioning has helped the project raise more than $14.5 million during its ongoing presale, ahead of a listing announcement on June 17.
As capital flows back into early-stage, high-upside opportunities, Bitcoin Pepe appears to be capitalising on the resurgence of speculative interest in the final stretch of its token sale.
