<p>Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies got a shot in the arm after the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) <a href="https://coingape.com/sec-gives-nod-to-spot-bitcoin-etf-opens-door-for-trading/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gave its blessing</a> to spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).</p> 
<p>The federal regulator on Wednesday approved a long list of spot Bitcoin ETF applications—including that of the world’s biggest asset manager BlackRock, <a href="https://coingape.com/spot-bitcoin-etf-approved-heres-why-grayscale-is-the-biggest-winner/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grayscale,</a> and Fidelity, among others.</p> 
<p>The industry took the SEC’s nod as a major sign of encouragement, with all top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap trading in the green in early trade on Thursday.</p> 
<p>The OG cryptocurrency Bitcoin rose nearly 1% to $46,425 over the last 24 hours but <a href="https://coingape.com/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BTC prices</a> were still lagging behind the fresh 19-month highs it hit earlier this week. At press time, Bitcoin’s market cap stood at $904 billion while trading volumes jumped 33% to $51 billion over the last 24 hours.</p> 
<p>Ethereum — the third largest crypto — got a rocket-fuel boost, surging 10% over the last 24 hours to $2,617. The market cap of Ether soared to $314.5 billion while trading volumes stood at $ 30.2 billion, up 80% over the last 24 hours.</p> 
<p>Smaller tokens, or altcoins, followed a similar upward trend, with BNB and Solana rising more than 2% each. While Tether and USDC prices were flat, <a href="https://coingape.com/price/xrp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">XRP price</a> grew 6%, Cardano (ADA) price rallied over 12%, and Avalanche (AVAX) jumped nearly 14%.</p> 
<p>Popular memecoins — Dogecoin and Shiba Inu — also climbed 6%, and 5.5%, respectively. The optimism was reflected in the global crypto market cap, which rose 3.5% to $1.77 trillion. The fear and greed index level stood at 74, indicating investors were bullish on crypto.</p>
