Bitcoin Surges Past $45,000: 'ETFs Are Having Bitcoin For Dessert,' Says Analyst
Portfolio Pulse from Khyathi Dalal
Bitcoin surged past $45,000, up 3.7%, as regional banks faltered. The surge was attributed to an increase in Bitcoin wallets holding more than 1,000 Bitcoin and substantial inflows into spot ETFs, with total inflows reaching $8.05 billion. The price movement defied the New York Community Bancorp trading loss, suggesting Bitcoin may be seen as a hedge against uncertainty. ETFs are expected to surpass MicroStrategy in Bitcoin holdings soon. Analysts remain optimistic about Bitcoin's prospects, with expectations of continued upward trends and a potential all-time high before the end of March.
