In a recent tweet by CZ, the CEO of Binance, the fluctuating price of Bitcoin and its growing utility were highlighted. The tweet coincided with Bitcoin’s price surging above $31,450, reaching its highest level since June 2022. The surge was attributed to the SEC’s approval of the Volatility Shares 2x Bitcoin Strategy ETF, known as BITX, which became the first leveraged bitcoin futures ETF in the United States. Additionally, a bullish sentiment fueled by BlackRock further bolstered the crypto market.
