Crypto Rally Resumes as Bitcoin Tops $72K Amid ETF Inflows and Easing Geopolitical Tensions
Bitcoin surged past $72,000 for the first time since its February 5 crash, climbing 5.9% in 24 hours as risk appetite returned to digital asset markets. The rally extended across major altcoins, with Ethereum reclaiming $2,000 and Solana approaching $90.
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $700 million in inflows since March began, providing fundamental support for the move. The gains came alongside a stabilization in oil prices and potential Middle East ceasefire talks, though stock futures dipped slightly.
Market breadth was strong across crypto assets. Dogecoin and XRP outperformed with 7.5% and 4.2% gains respectively, while BNB and WhiteBIT Coin posted solid advances. Only Tron lagged with a modest 1.4% increase.
