Like Hong Kong, Australia’s Monochrome Bitcoin ETF (IBTC) also made it to the headlines. Since its debut, it has received 83 BTC in influx. This approached the 100 Bitcoin threshold in terms of total holdings.

However, not everything was working in BTC’s favor. For example, BTC’s NVT ratio registered an increase. Whenever the metric rises, it suggests that an asset is overvalued, hinting at a possible price correction.
