CRYPTO prices have improved solidly overnight, with Bitcoin briefly reclaiming the $63,000 level, returning 2.9% over 24 hours to investors. The flagship cryptocurrency is, this morning, sitting at $62,930 and appears to be attracting interest.

Ethereum has added 2% to its price over the same timeframe. It’s a similar story across most of the Luno platform, with Solana, Avalanche and Aave seeing notable spikes in price. The latest push in positive sentiment across the markets also sees the majority of cryptos back in the green over seven days. 

In other news, JPMorgan said recently it doesn’t see legal action from the SEC against certain crypto companies in the US as an obstacle to an Ethereum ETF eventually being approved.
