Bitcoin Reaches 17-Month High

Bitcoin has surged to a 17-month high of $35,000, fueled by optimism surrounding the potential approval of a spot ETF. This increase is highlighted by the appearance of the BlackRock ETF ticker on the DTCC website, signaling growing institutional interest.

Institutional Shifts and CME's Dominance

Institutional activity is increasingly focused on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), where open interest has surpassed 100,000 Bitcoin, equating to $3.4 billion. The CME's market share is nearing 25%, rivalling Binance's perpetual market, and it commands 80% of traditional expiry futures. The daily Bitcoin futures volume at the CME has reached $1.8 billion, underscoring its growing influence.

Rising Interest in Asian Markets

The Hong Kong CSOP Bitcoin Futures ETF has experienced record trading volumes, hitting $22.37 million, with capital inflows of $17.64 million. This surge is attributed to increased buying pressure from Asia, highlighting a global interest in Bitcoin investments.

October Trends and Influential Figures

Historically, Bitcoin's value tends to rise in October, a trend observed since Paypal's Bitcoin acceptance in 2020. This pattern continues with the anticipation surrounding Bitcoin ETFs, including BlackRock's involvement. Prominent investors like Larry Fink are accumulating Bitcoin, drawing comparisons to pre-IPO share allocations, and expecting further value increases before Thanksgiving.

Bitcoin's recent performance and the anticipation of spot ETF approvals reflect a dynamic shift in the cryptocurrency landscape, driven by institutional adoption and strategic market movements.
