Market pushes on as green sets the tone of the day

BITCOIN and other crypto markets are back in bright green territory this morning. The market leader is up 5% overnight to trade above $70,000, while Ethereum is following in step, trading for around $3,600. 

The younger generation of cryptocurrencies have also responded to the sentiment shift. The price of Solana is up 3%, Cardano is up by 4%, while Polkadot and Chainlink have both given returns of more than 5%. Algo is the big mover of the day, its price rebounding by 9%. 

The latest push in crypto in markets comes as the London Stock Exchange announced it will start listing Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded notes early in April. An exchange-traded note (ETN) is a type of debt security issued by a financial institution, designed to track the performance of an underlying asset or index, and is traded on a stock exchange.
