Bitcoin (BTC) is currently navigating resistance around $70,000. Starting the week bullish, BTC peaked at $71,957, gaining 13% over the past seven days. The rise was driven by inflows into Bitcoin spot ETFs and optimism for Ethereum spot ETF approval by the SEC.
U.S. bitcoin spot ETFs have seen remarkable success, particularly BlackRock’s IBIT, which captured 94.86% of recent inflows, totalling $280 million out of $305.7 million. This fund now holds nearly 282,000 BTC, closely rivalling Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust.
