Bitcoin Surges Above $66,500 on New US Crypto Rules and ETF Inflows
Bitcoin has surged above $66,500, its highest price since July, due to new US crypto regulations and strong inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs. The US Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Regulation Crypto Assets proposal aims to ease fundraising for crypto firms and clarify asset classifications, creating a more supportive environment.
The proposal is expected to boost market confidence, along with improved liquidity from increased US Treasury bond buybacks and ongoing discussions between regulators and crypto firms. Bitcoin's technical indicators have also turned positive, reinforcing bullish sentiment in the crypto market.
