Ten times more companies invested in Bitcoin ETFs than in gold!

🙀 As of March 31, 937 professional firms invested in U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, while only 95 firms invested in gold ETFs in the first quarter.

👀 However, retail investors still own the majority of shares in Bitcoin ETFs. Professional investors had $11.06 billion in Bitcoin ETFs by the end of Q1, which is 18.7% of the total assets under management (AUM) for Bitcoin ETFs.

✔️ The largest ETFs have attracted the most institutional money. ARKB and HODL have a lot of institutional investments, supported by ARK and VanEck's involvement in these ETFs.

In the U.S. Senate, support was given to reject the SEC directive that strictly limits regulated companies' rights to own cryptocurrency.

🇺🇸 The U.S. Senate and House of Representatives voted to repeal SEC rule SAB 121, which contains guidelines for the storage of cryptocurrencies. Specifically, banks must reflect it on their balance sheets. This makes the process expensive and limits institutions' ability to provide custodial services on a large scale.

👀 However, the decision supported by the Senate and House of Representatives may face difficulties at a higher level. On May 8, the White House administration announced that President Joe Biden is prepared to veto the bill.

✔️ Advisors to the head of state emphasized that repealing SAB 121 would hinder the SEC from "protecting investors in cryptocurrency markets and ensuring the safety of the entire financial system."

📈 The current mining difficulty is 583.8774 EH/s and the ATH, 720.6836 EH/s, was reached immediately after the halving.

👀 The value of Bitcoin at the moment is $66,000
