Not Epstein Files — Here’s Why Crypto Markets Are Flashing Green
The market’s rebound had nothing to do with Congress or the Epstein files—Saylor’s live optimism and Brunell’s long-term framing reignited crypto sentiment and sent charts back into the green.
Two totally unrelated storylines collided into one big question across Crypto Twitter: Why is the market turning green again?
Spoiler: It’s not because Congress is releasing the Epstein files — but that headline didn’t hurt the chaos.
House Votes 427–1 to Release Epstein Files: Market Reacts, but Not How You Think
In one of the most lopsided votes in modern history, the US House of Representatives voted 427–1 to force the Department of Justice to release the long-sealed Jeffrey Epstein files.
The bipartisan bill, co-sponsored by Rep. Thomas Massie and Rep. Ro Khanna, now heads to the Senate.
BREAKING: US House votes to release Epstein files
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene called it a “major victory for the survivors who’ve waited decades for the truth,” adding that she would personally read the names “on the House floor” if necessary.
However, despite the political shockwaves, the market wasn’t rallying due to congressional transparency.
That part of the story belongs to someone else.
Michael Saylor Declares the Dip ‘Normal,’ Says Bitcoin Will Hit New ATH Soon
While Washington was going nuclear over the Epstein files, Michael Saylor went live on Fox Business, telling the world what Bitcoin holders wanted to hear:
“This is normal… Bitcoin’s had 15 major drawdowns, and it’s always come back to a new all-time high,” he said.
And then the line everyone clipped and spread across X:
“The dip is temporary — Bitcoin will hit a new all-time high soon.”
Saylor doubled down with long-term math:
- Bitcoin has appreciated approximately 50% annually over the past five years.
- Strategy (his company) is “engineered to survive an 80–90% drawdown”
- BTC could grow 30% annually for the next 20 years
- And volatility will keep decreasing as Wall Street moves in
In classic Saylor form:
“If you want to save money forever without counterparty risk, Bitcoin is stronger than ever.”
Markets seemed to agree, with charts flipping green and the total market cap rising by a modest 2%.
