Bitcoin on Track to Hit $70,000: 4 Crypto-Centric Stocks With Upside
Read MoreHide Full Article
The cryptocurrency market has made a solid rebound this month. Bitcoin (BTC), the world’s most popular cryptocurrency, especially has had an impressive run over the past couple of weeks. Bitcoin’s recent rally is being powered by the Federal Reserve’s recent rate and the approaching U.S. presidential election that has raised optimism surrounding riskier assets.
Given the positive sentiment ruling the markets, investing in Bitcoin-centric stocks like NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA - Free Report) , CME Group Inc. (CME - Free Report) , Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (IBKR - Free Report) and Accenture plc (ACN - Free Report) , which have strong growth potential in the near term, would be a prudent choice.
Bitcoin on Track to Hit $70,000
Bitcoin hit $69,007.10 briefly on Monday, hitting a three-month high. The cryptocurrency is currently holding above $68,500 and is roughly $5,500 away from its all-time high of $73,750. Bitcoin has jumped 18% since Oct. 10 and is now on track to surpass $70,000.
The cryptocurrency had a solid 2023, and despite failing to capitalize on the Bitcoin halving event in April, has gained 62% year to date.
Many factors have been driving the recent rally. The Federal Reserve announced a 50-basis point rate cut last month, the first since March 2023. Bitcoin has since been performing well, with market participants expecting two more rate cuts of 25 basis points each by the end of this year.
Also, the countdown to the U.S. presidential election has begun. Recent polls and predictions have raised the odds of a Trump victory. Trump is believed to be more supportive of the cryptocurrency industry and has mostly campaigned on a pro-crypto stance. His campaign also has reportedly been receiving donations in cryptocurrencies.
