Bitcoin (BTC) Defies US Infrastructure Bill Debacle, Rises to 2-Month High of $46K

Bitcoin (BTC) price climbed back above $45,000 from a daily low of $42,848 to record a new two-month high of $46,000 on several crypto exchanges. The price rise came after an early morning slump which many attributed to the uncertainty around the $1 trillion US Infrastructure bill.

The crypto taxation proposal especially the last-minute amendment by Sen. Rob Portman and Mark Warner had everyone at the edge of their seats during today’s discussion. However, there was no fruitful outcome and an unchanged bill without the amendments would go for a vote again on Tuesday after the 30-hour rule was imposed.

Even as the fate of the bill hangs in balance, the crypto market seemed to have overcome whatever little ambiguity it created this morning. Bitcoin rose to a new two-month-high and looks set to test $50K soon, while ETH also managed to move above $3,100 after falling below $3K during the morning Asian session.
