The turnaround in fortunes coincides with the renewed race for a spot bitcoin ETF, kicked off by BlackRock's filing on June 15.
However, trading volumes slowed to $1 billion for the last week, compared to an average of $2.5 billion in the previous two weeks, which may be due to seasonal effects, CoinShares said.
