<p>Kendrick’s confidence in his price targets for Bitcoin, $150,000 by the end of 2024 and $200,000 by the end of 2025, is bolstered by the potential approval of spot ether ETFs this week. He also noted increased inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs in recent days, reaching a new all-time high of $12.9 billion.</p>
<p>According to Senior Market Analyst at Capital.com, Kyle Rodda, Bitcoin’s price movement is closely tied to the performance of the top 100 tech companies on the Nasdaq. He stated that Bitcoin’s correlation with U.S. tech stocks continues as both push towards record highs.</p>
<h2 id="sec-requests-amendments-to-etf-filings">SEC Requests Amendments to ETF Filings</h2>
<p>In the last 24 hours, the entire cryptocurrency market has rallied, increasing by over 8%. This surge follows the SEC’s request for updates to 19b-4 filings for spot ether ETFs, indicating potential progress towards approval. The first deadline for spot ether ETF is approaching, with VanEck’s on May 23 and Ark Invest/21Shares’ on May 24.</p>
<p>After the SEC’s request, Bloomberg ETF analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas stated that the chances of the SEC approving such a product have increased from 25% to 75%.</p>
<p>Bitcoin’s price increased by over 3.68% in the last 24 hours and was trading at $69,940. The GM 30 Index, representing a selection of the top 30 cryptocurrencies, increased by 8.78% to 148.81 in the same period.</p>
