Meanwhile, the President affirmed that failure to reach the tentative deal would see the U.S. economy on a disastrous default and eventually recession, crashing jobs and affecting retirement accounts. Earlier Invezz.com reported that Biden wouldn’t accept any deal benefiting cryptocurrency investors.

McCarthy revealed the deal agreement deal earlier, stating that President Biden wasted months refusing to discuss the debt ceiling. Meanwhile, the deal comes some days before the 1 June 2023 deadline – which was to attract turmoil within the financial world.

As mentioned, Biden confirmed reaching a budget deal with Speaker McCarthy. Meantime, the agreement awaits more discussions before going to the U.S. House & Senate.

The deal includes increasing the fed government’s $31.4T debt ceiling, halting a months-long standoff. Moreover, it involves capping spending and increasing the debt limit for two years.

Nonetheless, the news brought relief to the crypto market, with prices reacting to the agreement with green moves. Thus, today’s surges in the cryptocurrency space likely stemmed from rallies in the United States stock markets.
