NEW YORK - Bitcoin has seen a surge in whale activity, with a significant volume of transactions exceeding $100,000, indicating a peak in large-scale movements that the market has not witnessed in two years. This uptick comes as the cryptocurrency market closely observes the potential for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to approve Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs), a development that could significantly sway market dynamics.
Earlier this week, Bitcoin's value dipped but has since recovered, reaching $43,852, which represents a 1.79% increase. The recovery and the heightened activity by large investors underscore the cryptocurrency's volatility and the keen interest of market participants in regulatory developments.
Investors and analysts are speculating that the approval of Bitcoin spot ETFs by the SEC could attract institutional investors and encourage mainstream investment in the cryptocurrency.
The market's attention is fixated on the SEC's impending decision, as it is expected to influence Bitcoin's accessibility to a broader range of investors and possibly catalyze further adoption of cryptocurrencies.
