Why Bitcoin is up 1.5% in the last hour

Analysis

Bitcoin rose about 1.5% over the past hour as regulatory headlines signaled potentially more favorable tax treatment, with a policy group pushing for Bitcoin’s inclusion in a proposed crypto de minimis tax exemption (Bitcoin Magazine). Sentiment also appeared supported by follow-up reporting that Coinbase executives deny lobbying against a Bitcoin de minimis exemption, easing concerns about industry opposition to the measure (Cointelegraph).
