IBIT is trading 4.6% higher as renewed spot-ETF demand combines with improved regulatory sentiment following the SEC’s five-year tokenized-securities exemption and the CFTC’s crypto-market proposal.
- Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw approximately $159 million in Thursday inflows, helping Bitcoin reclaim $80,000.
- Falling oil prices, easing yields, and a broader risk-on equity session supported the move.
- Reduced concern over Saudi supply disruptions improved global sentiment, while short covering likely amplified the rally.
