Bitcoin is currently trading at $45,724.72. This is an increase of 7.16% over the last 24 hours. The surge in the trading value of BTC has sparked interest from cryptocurrency enthusiasts around the world. The reason is that BTC is estimated to reach the $50,000 milestone by the end of this week.
The reason for the price surge is expectations that the SEC will approve the Spot Bitcoin ETF application. If approved, the 14 asset managers are expected to launch their respective products and allow traders and inventors to participate in a structured form of cryptocurrency investment.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is expected to approve the application by January 10, 2024.
Bitcoin surpassed $45,000 for the first time since April 2022. When demand is high and supply is low, prices tend to rise. Conversely, there are situations where the seller’s quantity does not match the number of customers. Although there is a lot of excitement surrounding the approval of the Spot Bitcoin ETF, it is possible that some traders are holding their Bitcoin portfolios for the long term and may be reluctant to sell their current holdings.
This is evident from the fact that accumulation of cryptocurrency tokens often yields good results for investors. For example, anyone who adds Bitcoin to their portfolio when Bitcoin is at $20,000 has already made a significant margin.
Asian markets were among the first to open Tuesday morning on an optimistic note. In the morning in Hong Kong, the price of Bitcoin was $45,083.
expectations around Bitcoin ETF approved Confirmed by experts. Justin d’Anethan, Keyrock’s head of business development for APAC, said seeing companies like BlackRock and Fidelity confirm the names of brokers that will support BTC operations solidifies the narrative that the SEC will soon approve all applications. He resubmitted a revised version to meet the committee’s recommendations.
Markus Thielen, head of research at Matrixport, expressed similar thoughts. Markus said there may not be mining activity on Tether, but the price is definitely rising. They added that this may be because there are not enough sellers on the market to hand out tokens.
Joe Caselin, head of institutional marketing at BIT, is confident that the Bitcoin price will continue to rise despite the ongoing setup. Buy rumors and sell news.
Assuming spot Bitcoin ETFs are unaffected by the market, there is still a chance that Bitcoin halving will spur an increase in value. If Bitcoin performs well, other tokens will have the same effect, causing their prices to skyrocket. ETH is the first to feel the positive impact at $2,416.10.
