In this piece, we will delve into:
– Bitcoin’s surge driven by ETFs
– Thailand’s approval of the first spot Bitcoin ETF
Bitcoin’s price soared today, hitting a peak of US$71,321.98 in the morning. The largest cryptocurrency’s price has been fluctuating significantly in recent days, with this surge marking a vital step towards Bitcoin’s recovery and nearing its all-time high.
This recent uptick in the value of the leading crypto asset coincides with substantial inflows into US spot Bitcoin-based ETFs. The Bitcoin price witnessed a 4% increase over the past day but quickly retraced.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price stood at US$70,948.34, marking a 3.0% increase in the last 24 hours. The highest price paid for Bitcoin was $73,737.94, recorded on March 14th (3 months ago). Comparatively, the current price is 3.87% lower than Bitcoin’s all-time peak.
In another significant development, Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the launch of the country’s first spot Bitcoin-based ETF, as reported in a Bangkok Post article on June 4th. This milestone follows the SEC’s implementation of stricter measures regarding Bitcoin ETFs in March, which included permitting institutions and ultra-high net worth individuals (UHNWIs) to invest in US-listed products through local private funds.
