The world’s leading cryptocurrency is managing the daily trading volume of $4.3 billion which has also taken a drop. However, the bitcoin bulls also had the altcoins on a surge as well as yesterday a number of coins registered substantial gains that dipped the BTC dominance which is currently at 51.7 percent.

Bitcoin first got a serious hit when Bitcoin ETF of Winklevoss brothers got rejected by SEC, however, since then an ETN has entered the market that now allows US Investors to invest into Bitcoin indirectly. This is a positive news that has strengthened the market.

Moreover, what recently the chief strategy officer of Coinshares, Meltem Demirors, shared about Bitcoin narrative being hard to grasp and tech giants like Microsoft and Intel taking more than a decade to get stable as “New technologies that shift the paradigm takes a long time to really understand” is something that needs to be taken into serious consideration.
