Bitcoin’s price is on course to achieve its fifth consecutive month of gains, its potential longest winning streak since the pandemic-era rally that was fueled by incentives that were handed out at the time.
Shortly after the U.S. approved its first spot Bitcoin ETF, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) received its first spot Bitcoin ETF application from Harvest Hong Kong, one of China’s largest fund managers.
In a recent report, Blockchain security firm PeckShield revealed that last year’s cryptocurrency losses to hacks and scams totaled $2.61 billion. The figure, which doesn’t include multichain losses, represents a 27.78% drop from the $3.6 billion lost in 2022.
