The notable demand for Bitcoin (BTC) has helped the flagship coin pump towards its all-time high (ATH) together with some altcoins.
Bitcoin (BTC) price pumped more than 3 percent in the past 24 hours to trade around $71,152 on Wednesday, during the early London session. The recent Bitcoin jump to retest its all-time high carried with it the entire crypto industry, led by Binance’s native coin BNB and Floki Inu (FLOKI). The crypto bullish sentiments had been piling up for the past few months since the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States and Hong Kong coupled with the fourth halving event.
As Coinspeaker previously reported, Thailand SEC joined the spot Bitcoin ETF global wagon, thus increasing the chances of other nations following the same path.
