Why Bitcoin is up 2.0% today
Analysis
Bitcoin rose about 2% over the past 24 hours as sentiment improved around Bitcoin’s broader ecosystem, helped by Tether’s release of an open-source operating system for Bitcoin mining that signals continued infrastructure investment (Cointelegraph). At the same time, market participants digested mixed headlines on ETF positioning—CoinDesk noted some Bitcoin ETF holders are sitting on paper losses and may capitulate, while CryptoPotato highlighted recent volatility tied to ETF-driven flows—yet BTC still managed to grind higher despite those concerns.
