Nevertheless, amidst this tide of optimism, the cryptocurrency market has witnessed traders taking profit-taking actions, following a moderate uptrend observed just the day prior. This cautious stance underscores the intrinsic volatility and capriciousness that remain integral to cryptocurrency.
The resurgence of Bitcoin has not unfolded in isolation; it has set in motion a domino effect across the broader cryptocurrency spectrum. Other digital assets, including Bitcoin Cash (BCH), have experienced notable surges, boasting up to 12% gains. Similarly, Toncoin has surged by a commendable 11% in the 24-hour chart, while TRON (TRX) has recorded a respectable 6% upswing. These developments highlight the cryptocurrency market’s interconnectedness, where one asset’s actions could affect others.
Bitcoin experienced a drop, below the $25,000 mark this week, reaching its lowest level since mid-June and is currently being traded at $26,111.02. Nevertheless, Bitcoin remains precariously positioned around critical technical levels, a matter of keen scrutiny for market participants, who are intently monitoring its capacity to maintain levels above the $26,000 mark.Bitcoin currently has a price of $25,920.14 per (BTC / USD) with a market cap of $504.2B and 24-hour trading volume of $16.1B.
In a development that has spurred significant interest, asset manager Franklin Templeton submitted an application to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 12. This application seeks the green light to launch a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), a strategic move following the SEC’s recent verdict to defer determinations on-site ETF applications from several prominent players within the cryptocurrency arena.
The proposed ETF, structured as a trust, designates Coinbase as the custodian for BTC holdings, with the Bank of New York Mellon undertaking pivotal roles as the cash custodian and administrator. Fund shares are slated to be traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange, with the SEC’s deadline for a decision set for October 16.
To augment the ETF’s reliability, digital asset index provider CF Benchmarks, regulated in the United Kingdom, would furnish daily valuations predicated on a composite of cryptocurrency exchanges. This pioneering approach aims to provide a robust underpinning for the prospective ETF.
A compelling tweet by Bitcoin for Freedom introduces a captivating dimension to the narrative. Significant players, including BlackRock, boasting $10 trillion in assets under management, Fidelity with $4.5 trillion, and Franklin Templeton with $1.5 trillion, are tentatively exploring the Bitcoin Spot ETF sphere. This underlines the burgeoning interest in cryptocurrencies among traditional financial behemoths, with a cumulative total of $17.7 trillion, a testament to the cryptocurrency market’s increasing convergence with the broader economic milieu.
