Top Democrats Slam Trump Over Crypto Engagement

The article says Bitcoin is holding around $62,000-$64,000 after a weekly gain of more than 6%, but its near-term direction may be shaped more by U.S. crypto legislation than by market momentum. Top Senate Democrats criticized Donald Trump’s ties to the crypto industry, raising conflict-of-interest concerns as Congress debates market structure and stablecoin bills. The piece argues that legislative progress could unlock a move toward $65,000 and beyond, while delays or partisan gridlock could leave BTC range-bound around $61,000-$65,000 or even send it back into the upper $50,000s. Broader crypto conditions remain supportive, with daily trading volume near $80 billion and Bitcoin dominance above 58%, but the market is increasingly sensitive to Washington headlines.
