Bitcoin price goes up after the SEC starts reviewing WisdomTree ETF

Bitcoin has had plenty of good news recently that have boosted its price, finally allowing it to go to $60k, after more than a month of trying and failing. The biggest drive likely came from the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s decision to start reviewing a recent Bitcoin ETF proposal, submitted by WisdomTree.

Another positive sign for the market came from BTC miners, who started stacking coins once again, thus revealing that they feel bullish about the coin. And, of course, there was the decision of an English Southampton Football Club to start receiving bonuses in BTC.

As for ETH, it got another praise from billionaire investor Mark Cuban, while a recent price prediction says that it has good odds of going beyond $2,145.
