Anthony Pompliano, a well-known investor, said, “Bitcoin becomes safer as it gets bigger.” He explained that in the early days, when bitcoin’s total value was $100–200 billion, only a few big investors were interested. But now, with bitcoin’s total market value in the trillions, almost all big investors are getting involved.
Supportive policies by the Trump administration have also helped the growth of cryptocurrencies by making it easier for investors to invest in them.
For example, Trump Media & Technology Group, linked to the US president’s family, is planning to launch an ETF (exchange-traded fund). This fund will invest in several cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, and Ripple, according to a recent filing with US market authorities.
Other cryptocurrencies are also rising.
Ether, the second biggest cryptocurrency, reached a one-month high of $2,794.95 and is now at $2,740.99, up by 5.4%.
