Bitcoin has made headlines recently with its price breaking past $39,000 for the first time since April 2022. The volatile cryptocurrency's value saw a mild peak above $39,500 before retreating. This increase in value has been attributed to increasing anticipation surrounding potential upcoming exchange-traded products. Anticipation for Bitcoin spot ETFs has caused the largest crypto fund inflows in two years, as revealed by CoinShares. This has also been fuelled by a MatrixPort analyst recently declaring Bitcoin’s rise above $40,000 “inevitable”, following a record settlement on Binance, and the recent election of Argentinian President Javier Milei which led to Bitcoin prices in that country approaching a record high.

Evidence of the growing traction of Bitcoin and other cryptos amongst traditional financial institutions continues to mount. With optimism surrounding the industry’s future growth rate continuing to rise, both institutional and retail investors are said to be investing more capital and hedging exposure to these assets. This phenomenon is expected to further fuel Bitcoin’s trajectory in the coming weeks and months.
