The crypto market turned volatile on Thursday with both Bitcoin and Ethereum witnessing marginal falls. The total market cap was down by 1.49 per cent to $1.08 trillion, and the total trading volume was down by 12.85 per cent to $39.85 billion.
A recent false report suggesting that Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) had cleared on the spot saw Bitcoin momentarily breach the $30,000 mark before settling down just above the $28,000 mark.
“Often heralded as the undisputed king of cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin is at a critical juncture, teetering on the $29,000 mark. Several underlying catalysts are driving speculation and sentiment in the Bitcoin arena. A significant prospect on the horizon is the potential approval of bitcoin spot ETFs. In a domino effect, such approvals could pour another trillion dollars into the broader cryptocurrency market. This expected increase, expected by March 2024 in the United States, could inject approximately $155 billion directly into Bitcoin, potentially pushing its price to a range between $50,000 and $73,000. The implications of such regulatory milestones are deep and far-reaching. This dynamic means that even modest capital inflows have the potential to trigger significant price escalations, said Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder, Unocoin.
