17 days to go! Have you got your ticket?

CRYPTO markets regained some ground this morning after seeing heightened volatility over the weekend. Bitcoin revisited lows of $61,000 before rebounding to around $66,600.

Ethereum dipped below $3,000 over the weekend, but found support to currently trade around the $3,250 price level. 

Solana and other large-caps also posted some noteworthy green candles overnight. 

The latest in crypto news is that the Hong Kong financial regulator has approved spot Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds, three months after the SEC in the US gave the go-ahead for similar crypto investments.
