CRYPTO HOLDS BIG WEEKLY RALLY AS WARSH'S JACKSON HOLE DEBUT COMES INTO FOCUS

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Bitcoin held above $77,000 after a 21% weekly gain, with XRP posting a 46% advance over the same period, as crypto markets diverged from Asian equities where Samsung and Alibaba led regional index declines. The rally was catalyzed by US Treasury liquidity interventions and an SEC crypto regulatory proposal introduced the prior week. Traders are watching Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's debut at the Jackson Hole economic symposium for rate signals that could shift risk-asset positioning.
