Bitcoin crossed $57,000 on 26 February for the first time since November 2021. That's up more than 20% since the US approved spot ETFs on 10 January.

Those approvals have produced winners including BlackRock and Fidelity. The pair won big on their bitcoin bets; they now account for more than 70% of the $14bn in bitcoin ETF assets under management, according to The Block.
