Bitcoin Surges Past $40,000, Ethereum Climbs Above $2,200

TL;DR
Bitcoin surpassed $40,000 for the first time since May 2022, while Ethereum rose above $2,200, as the broader crypto market experienced a subdued rally. The recent surge in Bitcoin's price can be attributed to optimistic comments from U.S. central bankers and hopes for the approval of a spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). Traders are betting on Bitcoin reaching $45,000 by March 2024. The upcoming release of U.S. economic data, including non-farm payrolls, may impact the trajectory of Bitcoin's ascent.
