Bitcoin exploded up more than 11% yesterday. It’s just over $57k at time of publishing this morning. “Today is settlement day for bitcoin futures, which is contributing to the price jump we’re seeing,” said Ryan Rasmussen, analyst at Bitwise Asset Management. “We’re approaching the window where we typically see traders positioning themselves ahead of the bitcoin halving, which will happen in the second half of April. I suspect this is the day people start rolling into bullish positions pre-halving.” Greyscale ETF saw a record $2.4 billion in trading volume. Coinbase and MicroStrategy zipped up over 15% on the breakout. More than $150 million worth of BTC shorts were incinerated. Stocks stepped back from highs, with the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all recording declines as investors braced for upcoming inflation data. Stock buybacks are especially common this Q4 earnings season. Meta, Disney, and Uber have all announced big repurchase plans, showing confidence in the economy.
