Bitcoin Breaches $30,000 For First Time Since August: What's Driving The Surge?
Portfolio Pulse from Khyathi Dalal
Bitcoin (BTC) has breached the $30,000 mark for the first time since August 2023, driven by amendments to spot Bitcoin ETF filings by Blackrock and Fidelity, and a similar filing by Grayscale. The price dipped slightly below $30,000 at the time of writing. Market experts suggest that if Blackrock's ETF receives approval, Bitcoin could surge to $56,000. Other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum (ETH), BNB, XRP, and Solana (SOL) also saw price increases.
