Major cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana are up—along with U.S. equities—after the Federal Reserve on Wednesday held interest rates steady and the central bank's chair gave a calming press conference.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is expected to deliver a speech at Blockworks’ Digital Asset Summit (DAS) in New York City on March 20. This will be the first time a sitting U.S. president has addressed a Bitcoin and crypto conference, highlighting the growing influence of digital assets in mainstream financial policy.

Now, Bitcoin topped $87,000, marking a two-week high. Crypto stocks continued to rise in overnight trading. Strategy rose 4%; MARA Holdings and Hut 8 Mining Corp rose 3%; Coinbase Global, Inc. and Riot Platforms rose 2%.
