  • Bitcoin surged for the third consecutive day, approaching the $64,000 mark in early market trading today, marking its highest level since November 2021 as bulls continue their march toward all-time highs near $68,900.

    This recent surge can be attributed to familiar bullish factors that have supported the prices in previous weeks, including substantial inflows into Bitcoin ETF spot funds.

    BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ:IBIT) set a volume record for the third consecutive day, with shares worth around $3.3 billion changing hands in a single day.

    This is over twice the previous record of $1.35 billion set on Tuesday, which itself surpassed the Monday record of $1.3 billion.

    Ten BTC spot ETF funds recorded a total trading volume of $7.7 billion, surpassing the previous record of $4.7 billion set on January 11, the first day of trading.

    Eric Balchunas, an ETF fund specialist at Bloomberg, described these numbers as "absurd" and labeled them "madness" in a post on X.
