Bitcoin price reaches highest level in nearly two years.

VnExpress•02/01/2024

Bitcoin's price surged nearly 7% on the first trading day of the new year, surpassing $45,000 and reaching its highest level in almost two years.

At the opening of the market on January 2nd, the price of Bitcoin reached $45,000 per coin, an increase of $1,000 compared to the previous day. The price continued to rise, at one point approaching $45,520 per coin, a gain of over 7% in 24 hours. The $45,000 price level was then maintained throughout the first trading session of 2024, following a consolidation trend.

Not just Bitcoin, but almost all popular cryptocurrencies on the market saw price increases overnight. Ether rose 4.5%; Solana and Avalanche both gained more than 10%.

According to CoinDesk , the reason for this surge is similar to recent weeks. The market is euphoric with the expectation that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will "greenlight" the launch of several spot Bitcoin ETFs. Last weekend, Reuters reported that the SEC may begin notifying Bitcoin ETF managers that their applications have been approved. This is believed to begin today.

While investors are euphoric, Chris Weston, head of research at Pepperstone (Australia), is still mindful of the scenario where Bitcoin ETFs are rejected. He believes the negative reaction would be clear and could result in an immediate drop in market value. "Instead of asking whether Bitcoin ETFs are getting the green light, the question should be whether we should buy on the rumor and whether cryptocurrencies are entering a new bull cycle," he said.
