[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In a stunning surge of enthusiasm, Bitcoin’s price soared to heights not seen in over a year on Tuesday in Asia, as investors buzzed with excitement over the potential launch of an exchange-traded fund (ETF) tied to the world’s largest cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin, with the highest market capitalization in the crypto realm, hit an impressive peak of $34,332.67, marking its most robust performance since May 2022. This milestone was achieved after a period of turbulence triggered by the sudden collapse of tokens Luna and TerraUSD, which had sent shockwaves through the global digital asset market.

The crypto markets are currently experiencing a wave of optimism following reports from various media outlets suggesting that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is leaning towards not challenging a ruling that favored Grayscale Investments, a prominent crypto investment group. This ruling essentially stated that the SEC had wrongly rejected their application for a Bitcoin ETF.

As the news reverberated throughout the crypto community, Bitcoin did experience a slight pullback but remained on an upward trajectory, showing an impressive 11.9 percent gain over the past 24 hours, ultimately settling at $33,624.02.
