Bitcoin

The cryptocurrency market is off to a strong start in 2024, buoyed by the optimism around spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETF). The top 3 cryptocurrencies by market cap were trading in the green on Saturday morning, with Bitcoin hovering near $44,000 levels. 
After months of anticipation, spot Bitcoin ETFs are set to become a reality. CoinGape earlier <a href="https://coingape.com/breaking-bitcoin-etf-updated-19b-4-amendments-filed-s-1s-reportedly-due-monday/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that all 11 ETF applicants filed their 19b-4 amendments with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Eric Balchunas said the SEC could green-light the Bitcoin ETFs as early as Jan 11.&nbsp; 
Amid expectations that SEC approval is imminent, institutional investors could step up Bitcoin buying. <a href="https://coingape.com/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin Price</a> (BTC) went up nearly 1% over the last 24 hours to $43,945. It has surged 4.5% in the last 7 days, with its market cap standing at $861 billion. However, trading volumes fell 22% to $26.8 billion over the last 24 hours.

Trading volumes over the last 24 hours dropped over 18% to $9.5 billion. 
Other digital assets took a beating, with BNB down 5% to $307, Solana (SOL) off over 3% to $98, XRP down 0.7% to $0.573, and Cardano (ADA) off 3.9%. 
Popular meme coins — Dogecoin and Shiba Inu — were also trading in the red, falling over 1% each. The global crypto market rose marginally 0.07% over the last 24 hours to $1.66 trillion. The fear and greed index level stood at 70, indicating investors were cautious.
