Political and Regulatory Changes Bolster Crypto Sentiment

The rally in the crypto market can be attributed to many factors, including Donald Trump‘s re-election as the US President.

Notably, the GMCI 30 index, which measures the top 30 coins, rose by 62.3% in the month.

Continuing the positive movement, SEC Chairman Gary Genslers resignation raised the possibility of a change in regulation. Some within the crypto industry celebrated his departure, seeing it as a chance for better regulation from a more balanced oversight.

Bitcoin ETFs and Institutional Inflows

In November, record inflows into Bitcoin ETFs in the United States reached $6.4 Billion. The leading funds were BlackRock‘s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF, which claimed nearly $5.6 billion of the total sum. Other participants were Fidelity’s BTC-linked offering, the Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, Grayscale‘s Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF, and VanEck’s Bitcoin ETF.

Even so, some ETFs witnessed a decline in assets under management, with Grayscales Bitcoin Trust ETF leading with $364 million outflows. However, the net fund inflow continued the bullish trend because institutional and retail investors continued to buy bitcoins, which increased their prices.

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index, which indicates optimism, increased to a yearly high of 92 in late November. Pundits predicted that fresh investment and strong fundamentals continued to propel the upswing as Bitcoin advanced to its next key levels.
