Bitcoin ETF rumours appear to boost crypto market prices

January 2, 2024

The Digital Commonwealth daily brief…

BITCOIN and the wider crypto market has exploded into shades of green this morning.

It is currently unclear what the driving force behind the dramatic upward movement is, but thoughts among many analysts appear to be pointing towards spot Bitcoin ETF news and a general feeling something imminent is afoot.

Bitcoin itself puckered up and almost kissed $46,000 earlier today, falling slightly short at $45,925 before pulling back in search of support around $45,600 — still up by an impressive 7% over 24 hours.

Ethereum was slightly less enthusiastic, but still up 4% at $2,400.

Glancing across the board, it would appear that 5% is quite typical of the majority of cryptocurrencies so far today.
