Bitcoin surged past $66,000 while Ethereum and Solana also gained, driven by easing geopolitical tensions and renewed risk appetite.

The current 'crypto winter' is seen as a pause for investors to decide when to re-enter, not a question of crypto's future. Adoption of Bitcoin ETFs remains early, with growing institutional interest and a shift toward utility and real-world applications in crypto investing.
