Bitcoin (BTC) has once again hit a new all-time high, this time tapping $70,000 on the leading crypto exchange Coinbase.
But the crypto king still fighting to place resistance at the $69,000 level in the rear view mirror, and has dropped to $68,357 at time of publishing, up 1.6% in the last 24 hours.

Not to be outdone, Fidelity is now the 6th largest Bitcoin holder in Arkham’s database.

While the Bitcoin ETFs are smash hit, leverage won’t be coming anytime soon.
Yesterday, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission delayed its decision on two requests to add options to spot Bitcoin ETFs.
The agency will have another chance to give them the green light or further delay on April 24th.
