Shares in cryptocurrency and blockchain companies surged today as bitcoin rebounded after a 5% drop yesterday. The gains come amid optimism that US regulators are moving closer to approving bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
Bitcoin itself rose 2.5% to $43,925, while Ethereum and XRP also climbed. Coinbase jumped 3.7% and Bitfarms 1.9%, while crypto miners Riot Platforms, Marathon Digital, Hut 8 and Bit Digital saw even stronger gains.
The digital asset boom follows bitcoin’s 155.7% surge last year on growing hopes of a spot bitcoin ETF being approved.
