A JPMorgan report suggests that the approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF may not drastically change the game as expected.

However, the anticipation of the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ release of nonfarm payrolls, along with discussions over Federal Reserve raising interest rates, might influence the crypto behaviour in the near future.”

Bitcoin mining stocks in the U.S have witnessed a remarkable recovery in 2023, fueled by the strong performance of Bitcoin and institutional exchange-traded-fund (ETF) filings by financial giants.

However, volatility commands caution in this risk-fraught area.”
