On March 4, the price of Bitcoin broke $65,000, bringing it closer to returning to an all-time high reached in November 2021.

The SEC said the approval of the ETFs were meant to make it easier for investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin without having to actually own the digital coins.

NBC reports that the world of crypto is also banking on a potential rally following a technical event known as "halving" scheduled to occur in April.
