Nevertheless, the Bitcoin price topped $31,000 on Friday after reports that Blackrock had filed an application with the SEC for a Bitcoin ETF. With the likes of BlackRock and WisdomTree now betting on the crypto product’s acceptance, the positive attitude around the Bitcoin token is suddenly skyrocketing and reflected in its price.

Bitcoin is now trading at $31,244, having risen by more than 3.6% in the last 24 hours. This is the best price the cryptocurrency has seen since the beginning of the year. Bitcoin has gained an extra 20% in the week to far, adding to its previous gains.

One critical attitude propelling bitcoin development at the moment is the SEC’s recently authorized leveraged Bitcoin ETF product. Volatility Shares Trust submitted the Bitcoin ETF product, and the timing of the acceptance has fueled optimism that the sector is getting closer to winning permission for a spot BTC ETF in no time.

This Bitcoin ETF product is the SEC’s second unique ETF clearance since the Futures Bitcoin ETF from ProShares sparked a wave of similar approvals more than a year ago.
