Invesco – an American investment company with over $1.4 trillion of assets under management – reactivated its attempts to launch a Bitcoin Spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the United States. WisdomTree – another US finance giant – submitted a similar application to the SEC. The latest efforts come a few days after the world’s largest asset manager filed with the securities regulator to introduce a BTC Spot ETF in the States.  Invesco Rejoins the Race Eric Balchunas –...

The world’s largest asset manager made a massive step towards its involvement in the cryptocurrency industry this week by filing for a Bitcoin Spot ETF with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. With so many previous applications for such a product by other companies failing before, the community wondered whether BlackRock’s attempt seems doomed from the get-go. However, the behemoth’s success rate with the SEC has been rather unmatched so far. History to Repeat But for...

Bitcoin has finally calmed and remained relatively stagnant on a daily scale at around $26,500 after the massive volatility experienced during the business week. Most altcoins are in a similar state with insignificant daily gains or declines, aside from APT, which is up by 6% today. BTC Stalls at $26.5K Last weekend was quite uneventful for the primary cryptocurrency, aside from a brief pump and dump at around $26,000. As such, the asset entered the working week in a calm...

Bitcoin registered two consecutive days of price increases for the first time in a while as it pumped from under $25,000 to just shy of $27,000 within this timeframe. ETH’s performance is rather similar, as the second-largest crypto now sits at $1,750. Most other altcoins are in the green as well. BTC Soars to Weekly High The SEC’s lawsuits against Binance and Coinbase took their toll on the cryptocurrency market, with BTC slumping last week to $25,400, even though it wasn’t...

After several days of depressing price movements, bitcoin finally went on the offensive and shot up by almost $2,000 in the past 24 hours to register its highest price tag since June 8. Expectedly, this has resulted in millions of dollars worth of liquidations, with short positions representing almost 80%. Following the SEC’s lawsuits against the two largest crypto exchanges – Binance and Coinbase – as well as the CPI numbers from Wednesday and the Fed’s pivot from its...

There aren’t too many favorable developments within the cryptocurrency community lately. It all started last Monday when the US SEC decided to begin a legal battle against Binance and doubled down on its crackdown against large crypto exchanges by suing Coinbase the very next day as well. Expectedly, these rather unexpected events led to massive price crashes for the majority of crypto assets. Nevertheless, many managed to recover most losses by the end of last week, but it...

Francis Suarez – the mayor of Miami – filed documents to run for President of the United States. He will be a candidate of the Republican party, attempting to prevail over well-known names, such as Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis.  Suarez is an outspoken advocate of bitcoin, and his administration has introduced numerous initiatives focused on the asset. He also became the first US politician to receive his salary in BTC instead of fiat currency.  The Latest Candidate is a...

The Federal Reserve opted not to raise its federal funds rate following the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting on Wednesday, breaking an uninterrupted streak of aggressive hikes dating back to March 2022.  Bitcoin reacted to the announcement with minimal volatility, staying rangebound between $25,800 and $26,000. Bitcoin traded for $26,000 minutes before the Fed’s announcement, before falling to $$25,756 moments afterward. It trades for $25,868 at press time.  The...

The indicator that displays the general sentiment toward bitcoin – the BTC Fear and Greed Index – dropped to “Fear” territory on June 13 and June 14. The last time the metric remained in that zone for two consecutive days was in the first half of March. One possible reason behind the trend’s change could be the shockwave the US SEC caused on the crypto market after filing lawsuits against Binance and Coinbase. Bitcoin stood well above $27,000 last Monday but went through some...

Michael Saylor – Executive Chairman of MicroStrategy – believes the regulatory pressure coming from the US SEC could be a bullish factor for bitcoin’s price and increase its dominance above the other digital assets.  The American predicted that many altcoins will be deemed securities and exchanges will delist them. BTC will be among the few to be spared, whereas its market share dominance could spike to 80%, Saylor added.  Bitcoin is ‘Destined’ to Succeed One of the keenest...
