According to Mikkel Morch, founder of the digital asset investment fund ARK36, MicroStrategy’s recent purchase is the institutional endorsement mainly fueling this rally. Morch wrote in a research note shared with Cointelegraph:
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “This rally is not just numbers on a chart; it’s a declaration of the confidence among institutional investors in the transformative potential of cryptocurrencies… Moreover, the green light for Bitcoin-owning ETFs in the United States has injected a fresh wave of optimism, propelling trading volumes and spotlighting crypto-linked firms amidst a broader market fraught with apprehension.”
</blockquote>
The total crypto market capitalization increased by 2.85% in the past 24 hours to $2.19 trillion. The industry <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-recaptures-2-trillion-market-cap-bitcoin-climbs-above-57000">recaptured the $2-trillion</a> market capitalization on Feb. 27, as Bitcoin breached $57,000, bolstered by a combination of Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows and improving crypto investor sentiment.
According to Morch, we could see a new all-time high for both Bitcoin and Ether (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price">ETH</a>) in the next couple of weeks, driven by the anticipation of the upcoming Bitcoin halving and the potential acceptance of a United States spot Ether ETF. He wrote:
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “The anticipation swirling around the approval of spot Ether ETFs further underscores the maturation of the cryptocurrency market. It recognition of Ethereum’s role not just as a digital currency, but as an infrastructure backbone for a future where finance and technology merge more seamlessly.”

The nine spot <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/nine-spot-bitcoin-etfs-see-2b-volume-two-days-straight">Bitcoin ETFs recorded</a> combined trading volumes of over $2 billion for the second consecutive day on Feb. 28.
