Crypto Market Rebounds as Bitcoin and Small-Cap Tokens Lead Gains

After a wave of selling in the crypto market, Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh told the Sintra forum that inflation risks had receded, prompting markets to scale back expectations for interest-rate increases. The shift toward a more dovish monetary-policy outlook drew capital back into Bitcoin and volatile small-cap tokens, signaling a recovery in risk appetite.

As of July 2, 2026, Bitcoin had gained more than 4% over 24 hours to about $61,200, while Ether rose 5% and Solana climbed 9%. The CoinDesk 20 Index advanced nearly 5% to a one-week high. Small-cap tokens posted even stronger gains, with MemeCore's M surging 81% and Audiera's BEAT rising 12%.
