Crypto Price Today: Bitcoin hits $30300 mark on BlackRock's ETF plan – The Economic Times


The cryptocurrency markets rose for the third straight day on Thursday, helped by BlackRock‘s plan to create a bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) even as the sector faces US regulatory scrutiny.

BlackRock, the world’s biggest asset manager, filed for the exchange last week which would allow investors to get stakes in the asset class.

Bitcoin (BTC) surged 5% to $30,326, whereas Ethereum (ETH) was above the $1,900 level. BTC volume stood at approximately $31.48 billion, rising 25% in the last 24 hours.

“Bitcoin hovered above the US$30,000 level gaining 5% over the previous day as investors continued to cherish the news of multiple spot Bitcoin ETF filings,” Edul Patel, Co-Founder & CEO of Mudrex said.

“On the other hand, Ethereum also rose above the US$1,900 level signaling strong buying momentum. Overall, the market is bullish and filled with positive investor sentiment,” Edul said.Other top crypto tokens were also trading higher. Cardano, Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and Litecoin surged over 7% each. The global cryptocurrency market cap was trading higher around $1.18 trillion, rising 5% in the last 24 hours.

It is currently trading above $30,300 signaling renewed optimism in the markets even as its dominance consolidates above 50%. Another strong push from the bulls could help BTC break the $32,500 level in the coming weeks,” Vikram Subburaj, CEO of Giottus Crypto Platform, said.
