Bitcoin is rising Saturday morning as it flirts with permanently climbing over $60,000 only to fall back under. Bitcoin is up over 22% in the past week and 8% in the past 24 hours. Could Bitcoin continue increasing in value from $60,000 to $100,000 in the future?
JPMorgan (JPM) – Get Report is the latest institutional bank to unveil an investment product with indirect exposures to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
Grayscale (GBTC) – Get Report halted new subscriptions to its booming crypto investment products this past week after a popular arbitrage trade that hedge funds and other wealth managers engaged in has unraveled.
Another booming cryptocurrency-related market that emerged in popularity this past month was NFTs or non-fungible tokens, which started with the NBA Top Shot NFT. An NFT is a unique digital file stored on a blockchain and some of the examples we’ve seen so far are sporting cards, artwork and photographs.
Popularity is surging while detractors question valuations but Christie’s auctioned off an NFT from crypto-artist “Beeple” for $69.3 million this past week
