Over the past day, Bitcoin’s price has fluctuated between $66,964 and $68,221, further underlining its ongoing demand. The boost in Bitcoin ETFs, with nearly $1 billion in new investments last week, has bolstered BTC’s recent rally.

Meanwhile, Ethereum has encountered slight pressure, dipping by 0.2% to a current value of $2,471, with intraday trading ranging between $2,462 and $2,523. Recent ETF withdrawals have fueled Ethereum’s minor pullback, as $24.45 million left Ethereum ETF holdings over the past 24 hours. Ethereum’s market cap now sits at $297.86 billion, leaving investors cautious as they await further movements.
