With Bitcoin’s price going above $45K today, the year 2024 got off to a fantastic start. The cryptocurrency market is optimistic right now, which bodes well for the rest of the year. In addition, the Bitcoin halving, which is happening in a matter of months, is expected to have a significant impact.
At the same time, everyone in the cryptocurrency sector is waiting impatiently for January 10th, when potential spot Bitcoin ETF approval is expected. Matrixport recently reported that crypto traders are still quite positive, perhaps waiting for the Bitcoin ETF to be approved, since the Bitcoin funding rate has remained high.
It will be important to see how Bitcoin reacts to regulatory changes in the next few days, because several experts have warned of a possible market correction after ETF approval.
