What’s fueling this heightened activity in the world of Bitcoin? The anticipation of potential regulatory changes in the United States is causing the market to buzz with enthusiasm.&nbsp;
Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and other institutional investment options are witnessing significant levels of weekly inflows.
