Why Bitcoin is up 1.5% today
Analysis
Bitcoin rose about 1.5% over the past 24 hours as ETF-related headlines supported sentiment, including The Block’s report that Morgan Stanley is allowing clients to lend bitcoin and other assets for in-kind spot crypto ETF conversions, a development that could ease ETF mechanics and improve market confidence. The move also looks like a modest rebound after recent weakness highlighted by CoinDesk, which noted BTC had slipped below $60,000 and hit its weakest level since October 2024.
