The First Bitcoin ETF Started Trading
In the middle of October, the BTC $60k price mark was possibly triggered by the SEC's possible approval of the Bitcoin ETF. Last week, the first Bitcoin ETF by ProShares started trading at the New York Stock Exchange, becoming the second-highest traded fund ever, according to Bloomberg.
