Bitcoin was up 2.5% at $27,119 as of 1:18 p.m., while Ethereum was above the $1,150 level.
“Bitcoin surpassed the $27,000 mark due to several factors, including a rise in stock markets and upcoming options expiring on Friday, coupled with reduced overall economic pressures,” said CoinDCX Research Team.
Meanwhile, Edul Patel, CEO & Co-founder of Mudrex, said, “Bitcoin’s value climbed beyond the $27,200 threshold on Friday before stabilizing above the $26,900 level. This upward shift may be attributed to Valkyrie Funds LLC, an investment management firm, obtaining regulatory clearance from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to introduce Ethereum futures to its current Bitcoin futures exchange-traded fund.”
This price fluctuation coincided with a minor recovery in US stock markets, as the 10-year Treasury yield retreated from a 16-year high, Edul said.In today’s trade, Solana and Tron surged over 4%, while XRP, Cardano, Dogecoin, Polygon, and Litecoin rose up to 3%.
The total volume in DeFi is currently $2.72 billion, 8.8% of the total crypto market 24-hour volume.
