Bitcoin $BTC experienced a strong surge on Tuesday evening after U.S. President Donald Trump reassured the markets with a surprising statement: "I have no intention of firing Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell." These words were enough to calm fears of political intervention in the Fed's policies, giving the market a strong boost and pushing Bitcoin to surpass the $93,900 barrier before settling at $92,700.

Return of confidence… and institutions' eyes on Bitcoin

Trump's remarks did not stop at the Fed but also included a softening of his tone towards China, announcing that tariffs "will be significantly reduced," which increased investors' risk appetite. The result? Massive financial flows towards digital assets, led by Bitcoin.

In the same context, Bitcoin ETF funds recorded net investment flows of nearly $720 million in just two days, a clear indication of the return of major investors with greater confidence towards the world's largest digital currency.

Meanwhile, gold also rose amid increasing demand for safe-haven assets.
