$BTC
--- The cryptocurrency Bitcoin recorded a significant increase of 3% today, Monday, reaching $87,600, achieving its highest level since U.S. President Donald Trump announced the imposition of tariffs. This notable rise in the price of Bitcoin came at a time when the value of the U.S. dollar is declining and fears regarding the independence of the Federal Reserve are renewed.
--- U.S. futures contracts for indices fell following comments from Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, in which he indicated that Trump is considering the possibility of dismissing Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, raising concerns about potential political interference in the course of monetary policy.
--- The rise in Bitcoin coincided with gold prices hitting a new record high, reflecting an increased demand from investors for safe assets as effective hedges against inflation and economic turmoil.
--- In a related context, American businessman and author of the famous book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" Robert Kiyosaki predicted that the price of Bitcoin will reach $200,000 by the year 2025. Kiyosaki stated in a post on his social media account X: The price of Bitcoin today is $84,000... I strongly believe that the price of Bitcoin will reach $180,000 or $200,000 in 2025.
