Bitcoin is back above $44,000<\/span><\/a> for the first time since the <\/span>Spot Bitcoin ETFs were approved for trading in January<\/span><\/a>. This price surge is believed to be due to several factors that have played out in favor of the bulls in recent times.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

BTC Whales Accumulate More Bitcoin<\/h2>\n

Citing data from Glassnode, <\/span>crypto analyst Ali Martinez<\/span><\/a> revealed<\/span><\/a> recently that Bitcoin whales have been accumulating more BTC, with around 73 new addresses now holding 1,000 BTC or more. This figure is said to mark a 3.66% increase in the last two weeks, thereby continuing the accumulation trend.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

NewsBTC had <\/span>previously reported<\/span><\/a> how Bitcoin whales had gone on a buying spree following Bitcoin\u2019s decline to below $40,000. The flagship crypto token is believed to have dropped to that level due to the <\/span>significant selling pressure from Grayscale<\/span><\/a>, the issuer of the GBTC Spot Bitcoin ETF.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The asset manager has, however, cooled off on its BTC sell-offs recently as outflows from the fund continue to decline. This is another factor that could have contributed to Bitcoin\u2019s recent price surge. Data from the on-chain analytics platform Arkham Intelligence shows that other whales like <\/span>FTX and Alameda Research<\/span><\/a> have also eased off on offloading their crypto tokens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Spot Bitcoin ETFs Doing Their Bit<\/h2>\n

There has been <\/span>increased institutional demand<\/span><\/a> for Bitcoin thanks to the Spot Bitcoin ETFs. This is evident in the success which these funds have achieved since their launch. As a result, the issuers of these funds, like the <\/span>world\u2019s largest asset manager, BlackRock<\/span><\/a>, have had to accumulate a significant amount of Bitcoin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, these asset managers were <\/span>reported<\/span><\/a> to hold over 657,000 BTC, thereby accounting for more than 3% of Bitcoin\u2019s circulating supply. The newly listed <\/span>Spot Bitcoin ETFs<\/span><\/a> (excluding Grayscale) alone hold about 187,000 BTC. Interestingly, these funds are well on their way to <\/span>surpassing MicroStrategy<\/span><\/a>, which has a BTC holding of 190,000.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Spot Bitcoin ETFs <\/span>could launch soon<\/span><\/a> in Hong Kong with 10 applications already made to the country\u2019s financial regulators. This is another narrative that could be driving Bitcoin\u2019s current price surge, <\/span>seeing the impact<\/span><\/a> that the approval rumors in the US had on Bitcoin\u2019s price towards the end of last year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hong Kong isn\u2019t the only country in Asia showing crypto enthusiasm as Thailand was <\/span>recently reported<\/span><\/a> to have removed VAT (Value Added Tax) on crypto trading.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at around $44,800, up over 4.4% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
