Bitcoin's price has continued its upward trajectory, surpassing $34,000 today, fueled by the anticipation of a potential Bitcoin ETF. This comes in the wake of a mandate from the Court of Appeals ordering a reevaluation of Grayscale Investments' application to convert its Bitcoin Trust into a spot Bitcoin ETF. The mandate is part of the ongoing Grayscale Investments vs SEC case and has significantly influenced market sentiment and clarity around crypto regulations.

The crypto market has seen substantial growth recently, with Bitcoin crossing the $31,000 mark on Monday. Analyst John Deaton highlighted Jim Cramer’s accurate prediction of this surge. The price of Bitcoin is currently sitting at $34,061.31, representing an impressive 76.21% increase year-to-date.

In related news, investment giant BlackRock (NYSE:BLK) is reported to have revised its Bitcoin ETF proposal. This move is seen as a response to the changing regulatory landscape and the increasing acceptance of cryptocurrencies as a legitimate investment asset class.

Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN), another major player in the crypto space, is planning a defense strategy against the SEC similar to Ripple's successful approach. This strategy is expected to further clarify regulatory norms in the crypto sector. The Grayscale case, along with Coinbase's planned defense strategy, are contributing to a more defined regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies and are fueling the ongoing bullish trend in the market.
