At 15:02 UTC, BTC was trading at $ 67,106, up 7% in one day and 18% in a week, according to Coingecko data.

After the Bitcoin movement, Ethereum (ETH) also rose. At the same time, it is trading at $ 4,089, up 7% in one day and 18% in a week. In addition, the period May 10-15 this year was the only time in history that ETH has traded above the $ 4,000 mark. Other big altcoins are up 2% -10% in one day.

Bitcoin ETF is also bullish as Bitcoin crosses the $ 67,000 mark

As the underlying spot Bitcoin market, the newly launched Bitcoin futures-backed ETF BITO also rose higher that day, reaching a price per share of $ 43.60 at 14:36 ​​UTC. This compares to the $ 40.99 price of the first transaction recorded on Tuesday when the ETF launched.

The same applies to the fund-based futures contracts traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). It’s worth noting, however, that futures don’t trade at a premium to the spot price, as some have predicted, but are in the $ 400 to $ 500 range of Coinbase’s spot price.

Meanwhile, a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Wednesday revealed that ETF issuer VanEck received approval to launch its BTC futures ETF itself after successfully launching its ProShares fund on Tuesday.

According to the filing, the ETF was admitted to listing with effect from October 23, that is, Saturday. Hence, it is likely that the first day of trading for VanEck’s Bitcoin ETF will be Monday October 25th.

According to the fund’s prospectus, the VanEck Bitcoin ETF is traded under the ticker symbol XBTF and is listed on the Cboe BZX Exchange.
