Bitcoin Surges Past $51K, Aiming for $64K Amid Inflationary Concerns and ETF Influx

By: Isha Das

As the cryptocurrency market exhibits signs of bullish continuation, Bitcoin (BTC) recently surged past the $51,000 milestone, reinvigorating optimism among traders who're eyeing the $64,000 level. This ascent aligns with growing demand from spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) products. Furthermore, BTC's price indicates a fresh yearly high with traders highlighting several reasons that could signal an ongoing uptrend.

Record-breaking Bitcoin ETF inflows are among the critical factors driving the coin’s surge. Key players like Blackrock and Fidelity played a significant role, accumulating a stupendous $631 million inflow into spot Bitcoin ETFs in a single day. Another factor reducing market volatility and contributing to the positive momentum is the alleviation of concerns over Genesis' Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) liquidation, largely staving off fears of a Bitcoin crash.

Adding to the bullish outlook, demand at Over-The-Counter (OTC) desks is exceeding supply, indicating strong accumulation by large institutional investors. The buoyant demand is particularly promising as it reveals a market imbalance favoring Bitcoin. Additionally, the crypto market dynamics, including key analysis of futures and spot markets, suggest a healthy correction paving the way for a bullish continuation. Experts are emphasizing that the investment influx isn't merely a rotation from GBTC and reflects fresh investments.
