Big Bets Drive Bitcoin's Best Week Since June: Why $36,000 Is BTC's Key Level For Bulls
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
Bitcoin (BTC) surged by 4.5% between Monday and Wednesday, marking its best performance since June. The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) won its legal battle against the SEC, allowing the conversion of GBTC into an ETF. This could pave the way for other companies like Bitwise, VanEck, Invesco, Fidelity, and Valkyrie to secure approval for their Bitcoin ETF applications. Cathie Wood, overseer of the ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK), predicts Bitcoin surpassing $1 million by 2030. The net-long positions in Bitcoin futures held by large speculators grew to 1,515 contracts during the week ending Aug. 22, the highest since April 2018.
