Bitcoinâs 0.30% price drop to $62,493.43, despite a 44.24% increase in trading volumes, is consistent with recent trends. The SECâs clearance of options trading for BlackRockâs spot Bitcoin ETF has boosted market interest, with spot Bitcoin ETFs acquiring $60 billion in assets in just nine months. The growth in institutional interest has increased volatility. Furthermore, a whale transfer of 4,000 BTC worth $255 million has fueled speculation, adding to current market action.
