Bitcoin, Price of Ethereum Surge Amidst US Debt Ceiling, Likely to Escalate

     Bloomberg News reports that the leading digital currency, Bitcoin or BTC, underwent a rise in its value as there are signals of the US debt ceiling resolving. Aside from this leading cryptocurrency, ETH or Ethereum, the crypto market worldwide also surged remarkably. In the past few weeks, world’s biggest economy was under threat of facing a likely crunch in liquidity.

    Bitcoin Trades

    The biggest crypto asset went up by as much as 5.4% in the past week, as it is also at a two-week high. The BTC price is trading at 28,094 USD after a surge of 3.54% in the past 24 hours.

    Ethereum

    Regarding the second largest crypto asset Ethereum, it surged by 3.34% and 5.91% in the intraday and weekly sessions, respectively. At present, it is trading at a figure of 1,908 USD. The global crypto market capitalization surged by 2.94% during press time and attained 1.17 trillion USD.

    What is the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023?

    The “Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023” is supposed to let the debt ceiling of 31.4 trillion escalate further. It will fix the surge for two years, until January 1, 2025.

    Joe Biden, the President of the United States, has asked to finalize the budget agreement. The House Speaker, Kevin McCarthy, settled the deal. The House Speaker postpones the debt ceiling. The bill seeks voting.

    Why was the Bill Held Up for so Long?

    It took such a long time for the bill to get passed as it got caught up in the tussle of the bipartisan. Before the debt ceiling could be raised, both the Democrats and the Republicans had to get their conditions fulfilled.

    While President Joe Biden called the bill a compromise, McCarthy, the House Speaker, called it something worthy of the people of the United States.

    Bloomberg News reports that the bill comprising 99 pages for the coming days is subject to much debate and scrutiny.

    Digital assets like Ethereum and Bitcoin faced issues since there was a lot of uncertainty surrounding the deal. The US Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, fixed the date as X-date as June 1, 2023. However, that has been pushed back to June 5th.

    According to the US President, this is a vital step forward. However, since the President feels it is a compromise, not everyone will get what they look forward to.
