Bitcoin rose 1.5% to just under $83,900 during Asian trading on Wednesday, after New York Fed President John Williams said he saw no need for additional rate hikes in 2027. Williams did suggest one more increase this year may be appropriate, but markets read his overall stance as dovish, pushing the dollar lower and lifting stocks across Asia. ZEC led the major tokens, climbing nearly 7% to around $1,270. $SOL ‌ and $DOGE ‌ each gained 2.5%, while ETH added 2% to about $2,520. $XRP ‌, BNB and HYPE rose between 1% and 2%, and TRX lagged with a gain of less than 1%.
