DAILY MARKET OVERVIEW
Bitcoin Investment Funds See Strong Growth
The bullishness continues!
Bitcoin's price jumped to approximately $68,770, coming remarkably close to its highest-ever value. During this surge, Bitcoin briefly passed silver in market capitalization, showing extreme strength.
Bitcoin investment funds experienced notable growth in investments, with BlackRock's IBIT and Fidelity's FBTC leading the way, attracting $420.1 million and $404.6 million respectively.
Bitwise's BITB also saw healthy inflows of $90.9 million. Despite Grayscale facing outflows of $368 million, Fidelity's inflows compensated for the loss.
TWITTER SENTIMENT
Aptos the Sleeping Giant
Aptos has flown under the radar for many during the recent increase in interest. Aptos was founded by a former employee of Blackrock, the very same company that's currently investing billions in BTC.
There are some rumors on social media about a possible Aptos expansion into real-world assets on the blockchain. These rumors aren't widely known yet.
The CEO of Aptos has confirmed these rumors, and it's expected that an official announcement will be made during the upcoming Aptos Conference in April.
During this conference, a partnership between Aptos and Blackrock or other large funds could potentially be announced. Such an announcement will be extremely bullish for Aptos.
Another factor that could help Aptos' popularity is the possibility of airdrops, essentially offering free money to those engaging with the Aptos blockchain.
About 51% of the Aptos supply has been set aside for the community, and there are hints from the team about potential airdrops, similar to what Optimism has done.
