As the dismal realities of the global financial system continue to overwhelm government efforts to stop the development of the crisis, the cryptocurrency market has remained robust, causing investors to pay more attention to cryptocurrencies. Despite remarks from St. Louis Fed President James Bullard that interest rates could continue to rise to 5.625% in the event that economic pressures start to abate in the coming weeks, U.S. stocks managed to recover their early losses on Friday and surge higher towards the market close. The S&P, Dow, and Nasdaq all saw increases at the closing bell of 0.56%, 0.41%, and 0.31%, respectively.
