Bitcoin rallies past $27k, while ETH/BTC ratio sinks Quick Take
Bitcoin has surpassed the $27,000 mark for the first time since June 7, indicating a notable recovery from previous challenges.
It’s noteworthy that this resurgence comes in the wake of significant regulatory pressures faced by Bitcoin concerning the SEC lawsuits against major platforms Coinbase and Binance.
In a more optimistic development, the prospect of BlackRock’s Bitcoin spot ETF has emerged, potentially providing a significant boost to the cryptocurrency market.
Meanwhile, the ETH/BTC ratio has continued its downward trend, currently sitting at 0.063, near its lowest point year-to-date. This reflects the continued strength of Bitcoin relative to Ethereum.
Additionally, Bitcoin’s open interest has been on an upward trajectory. According to CoinGlass data as of June 20, about 466,000 Bitcoin are tied up in open interest contracts. This marks the highest volume since March, suggesting an increased market commitment to the premier cryptocurrency.
