After a turbulent start to 2025, marked by regulatory crackdowns and macroeconomic uncertainty, recent developments suggest growing institutional confidence and a potential shift in government policy toward more constructive regulation.
Bitcoin Surges Past $66,000 Amid ETF Optimism
Bitcoin surged past the $66,000 mark this week, buoyed by renewed optimism surrounding spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States.

Analysts say increased institutional inflows and improved regulatory clarity are driving the latest rally.
Ethereum Eyes $4,000 with Dencun Upgrade Momentum
Ethereum (ETH) continues to gain ground, currently trading above $3,700.
