 <p>Bitwise Asset Management has become the latest firm to have its spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) listed on the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) under the ticker name $BITB.

 <p>Apart from the possibility of a spot BTC ETF approval, the original crypto will also undergo its next halving cycle in April next year. Halving cycles are bullish events as they reduce the supply of an asset. Both developments, the halving, and the spot BTC ETF approval, could propel the cryptocurrency market into another bull run.</p>
