On October 17, significant developments in the crypto space include the milestone of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States surpassing $20 billion in net flows. This notable figure marks the first time Bitcoin ETFs have achieved this milestone in just 10 months, indicative of strong investor interest. In comparison, gold ETFs took five years to reach the same mark. Additionally, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin outlined ambitious goals for Ethereum and its layer 2 solutions, aiming for over 100,000 transactions per second (TPS) as part of a roadmap dubbed 'The Surge.' He emphasized the need for enhanced interoperability across Ethereum's layer 2 networks to create a unified experience. Furthermore, Bitcoin's price showed volatility, hitting an intraday peak of $68,300 but remained subject to fluctuations as analysts predict a bumpy ascent before reclaiming all-time highs. Current price action indicates a critical resistance point at $68,224, which Bitcoin must breach for the bullish trend to continue.
