The small-cap token index has increased by more than 20%, indicating that a looser financial environment is activating the riskier segments of the crypto market.A report from the cryptocurrency exchange Kraken noted that if Bitcoin fails to "decisively" break through $65,000, it may signal the onset of a weak period.In addition to monetary policy, the digital asset industry is also awaiting the results of the U.S. presidential election.
