Bitcoin is climbing for a fourth consecutive week, with the digital token's price lingering just below an 18-month high of $38,000, as more investors bet that US exchange-traded funds that hold the largest cryptocurrency are on the verge of winning regulatory approval. «We are referring to the current Bitcoin rallies internally as, 'nothing for sale' rallies, said Stephane Ouellette, co-founder and chief executive of FRNT Financial. „On even the slightest positive news, whether ETF related or otherwise, Bitcoin is seeing very little resistance to the upside and is having the propensity to 'gap.'
