The largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC), has surpassed $40,000 as the bullish rally continues during the week.
Bitcoin has approached the $40,000 price for the first time since April 2022, with it surging more than 10% over the past 7 days. The bitcoin price has surpassed $41,200 at the time of writing, according to crypto market data from Coinmarketcap.
The rally in Bitcoin impacted the whole crypto market & turned it into green. Along with other altcoins, Ethereum also pumped around 10% in the past week. Ethereum is currently trading at the price of $2250.
The rise in Bitcoin price is fueled by optimism around spot Bitcoin ETFs, which will enable a wide array of traditional and institutional investors to get exposure to Bitcoin. The recent moves from the SEC reportedly suggest that the agency could approve at least one spot Bitcoin ETF within a short period.Â
Several finance giants are awaiting for their spot BTC ETF approval including the largest asset managers BlackRock, VanEck, Fidelity, Valkyrie, Grayscale, and others.
