Strategy, MARA and IREN Lead Crypto Stock Rally as Bitcoin Jumps 9%
-
Crypto-linked stocks climbed Friday as Bitcoin (BTC-USD) and other major digital assets showed signs of stabilizing, potentially signaling the end of the recent sell-off.
Bitcoin was on track for a roughly 9% weekly gain, while Ethereum (ETH-USD) appeared set to rise about 11%. Analysts said the uptick comes amid growing optimism over a clearer regulatory environment in the U.S.
On March 11, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission reported a memorandum of understanding to coordinate efforts in developing a fit-for-purpose regulatory framework for crypto assets and emerging technologies. The move follows inflows of $619 million into cryptocurrency investment products last week.
Brett Munster of Blockforce Capital noted that Bitcoin may have already touched the upper edge of a probable bottoming zone. He said the bulk of the recent drawdown appears to be behind the market, with the potential for a broader turnaround emerging around mid-year. Once selling pressure fades, even modest new inflows can move the market, he added.
