Portfolio Pulse from Murtuza Merchant
US investors are increasingly investing in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) as major financial institutions like BlackRock Inc (NYSE:BLK), Fidelity, and Citadel increase their engagement, contributing to Bitcoin's 85% surge this year. Bitcoin's gains are particularly notable during US market hours, with a 30% increase in cumulative gains since dropping to around $16,000. BlackRock's application for a Bitcoin spot exchange-traded fund was rejected by the SEC, but the company can resubmit. Bitcoin has shown signs of disassociating from the US stock markets, including the S&P 500 and Nasdaq.
