Anticipation for Bitcoin spot ETFs has driven the largest crypto fund inflows in two years, according to CoinShares. 

In addition to ETF excitement, a MatrixPort analyst recently called Bitcoin's rise above $40,000 "inevitable" following Binance's record settlement. The recent election of Argentinian President Javier Milei also led Bitcoin's price to approach record highs for Bitcoin in that country.
