BTC Digital and BitMine Soar as Bitcoin and Ethereum Rally
Shares of BTC Digital Ltd. (NASDAQ:BTCT) skyrocketed by over 111% in after-hours trading, while BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc. (NYSE:BMNR) surged 6.47% in extended hours.
The rally follows a sector-wide uptick as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) traded at $69,334.78 on Wednesday, up 7.84%, with a market cap of $1.4 trillion and 24-hour volume of $51.7 billion.
Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) also saw gains, trading at $2,255.12, up 18.11%, with a market cap of $272.1 billion and 24-hour volume of $33.3 billion.
The optimism behind the surge is attributed to the potential passage of the CLARITY Act in September, as well as record short liquidation of $2.74 billion fueled gains across crypto-linked equities.
