Bitcoin and ethereum have shown slight gains over the past month, fueling cautious optimism that the crypto market has hit a bottom.
In June, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said that bitcoin hit its low point near $60,000. After Armstrong’s prediction, the digital currency dipped below $58,000 briefly. Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan expressed a similar sentiment in early July.
More recently, Grayscale analyst Zach Pandl suggested Bitcoin could fall further, bottoming out in September or October, with a caveat: “If the Fed forgoes rate hikes and economic growth holds up well, Bitcoin’s price may already have bottomed.”

What is a crypto credit card?
A bitcoin or crypto credit card generally works just like any other credit card. When you apply and get approved, you’ll be assigned a credit limit, and you can use your card to make purchases. If you don’t pay your total balance by your card’s monthly due date, you’ll start to accrue interest at your assigned APR.
The difference is the types of rewards you’ll earn. Instead of earning airline miles, rewards points, or cash back on your spending, you’ll earn crypto. The percentage back you earn on each purchase — such as 3% back on gas or 2% back at restaurants — is converted from U.S. dollars to bitcoin or another cryptocurrency at the current market value. You can then access your rewards through your connected crypto account.
For example, say you make a $500 purchase that earns 3% bitcoin rewards. You’ll earn $15 in U.S. dollars on that purchase. With a bitcoin credit card, your $15 may be converted at the current bitcoin value (about 0.00014 bitcoin in October 2025) and deposited in your crypto account.
The biggest benefit of crypto rewards is the potential for growth over time. Let’s say you had a total bitcoin rewards balance worth $100 USD at the end of 2024. By early October 2025, the value of those same rewards would have increased to about $114 — even if you didn’t earn any additional rewards over that time.
