Cryptocurrencies Price Prediction: Bitcoin, Ethereum & ETF – Asia Wrap 29 February

Bitcoin ETF success could see Ethereum alternative soon, says Jim Cramer

Following the landmark approval of multiple spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on January 10, this has been the abounding theme in the cryptocurrency market. The lead crypto analyst at FXStreet attributed the narrative to the surge in Bitcoin price, which now stands about 50% higher since the investment product started trading.
 
Bitcoin (BTC) price could cover more ground north as the BTC wells among over-the-counter (OTC) desks run dry. This is likely to see institutions look to public exchanges, with the resulting buying pressure likely to provide tailwinds for the pioneer cryptocurrency. 
Bitcoin (BTC) price exploded to an intraday high of $64,000 on Wednesday before a quick retraction. Reports circulated that over-the-counter (OTC) BTC supplies depleted, which could compel institutions to switch to public exchanges as an alternative source of Bitcoin.
