Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>Bitcoin saw its price climbing over $37,000 on Thursday for the first time in 18 months with optimism about regulatory approvals and growing interest of investors.<\/p>\n

The price of the world’s biggest cryptocurrency surged over 4% to climb as high as $37,104 at 8.53 a.m. EDT (1353GMT) to reach its highest level since May 5, 2022, according to official figures.<\/p>\n

Ethereum, the world’s biggest altcoin by market value, also rose to as much as $1,929 at the time — highest since July 17, 2023.<\/p>\n

Some altcoins saw their prices soar almost 14% in the past 24 hours, according to data from the digital asset price-tracking website CoinMarketCap.<\/p>\n

The total value of the crypto market was up 3.3% to $1.38 trillion at the time, while Bitcoin’s share of the crypto market, known as dominance, was at 52.4%, showed the data.<\/p>\n

The recent rally is fueled by exchange-traded funds (ETFs) getting regulatory approval in the US and growing interest of professional investors in the cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n

Investors and crypto enthusiasts hope that the US’ Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) would begin to adopt a more positive attitude towards cryptocurrencies, starting by providing regulatory approvals to ETFs.<\/p>\n

The SEC said Wednesday it is open to begin spot Bitcoin ETF talks with Grayscale Investments, an American digital currency asset management company.<\/p>\n

The approval of ETF applications by crypto investment firms could pave the way for general investors into digital assets market.<\/p>\n
