Bitcoin points crypto market the way up
Bitcoin has shown the crypto market the way up through a price explosion of over 20%. In the process, BTC attacked the $35,000 barrier, easily passing the $30,000 hurdle that proved too strong in recent months.
The optimism was fueled by newly launching Bitcoins and especially their expected approval by U.S. financial watchdogs such as the SEC. Parties such as Grayscale, Blackrock and iShares are lined up to launch spot ETFs, i.e., with Bitcoin as the underlying asset. Although approval from the SEC and others is still (far) away, investors are already taking a shot. Sentiment is positive for now, although we have often seen that the mood in the crypto market can often turn as quickly as the weather (in the Netherlands).
