Fidelity FETH: $23.52 million

Market Context

Bitcoin is trading at $124,567 with a market cap of $2.482 trillion, marking a rise from the previous day. Its daily trading volume stands at $66.328 billion. Ethereum is trading at $4,724.41

with a market capitalization of $569.472 billion and 24-hour trading volume of $40.186 billion. 

Both assets continue their upside market trend, as their prices hover closely around their all-time highs. This bullish sentiment in Bitcoin and Ethereum is mainly driven by the U.S. government shutdown. As the fear of US dollar devaluation grows, risk assets like crypto take place as an alternative currency, benefiting from such initiatives.
