Bitcoin ETF Peak & Increase in VC Fundraising
The uptick in fundraising coincided with Bitcoin reaching a fresh peak of $73,798 on March 14, a milestone experts attribute to the stronger-than-anticipated inflows into the recently introduced spot Bitcoin ETFs. These ten ETFs, backed by major players such as BlackRock and Fidelity, instilled renewed confidence in the sector as traditional finance (TradFi) leaders once again expressed their interest in digital assets.
