Bitcoin price extends the uptrend into today's trading. BTC price trades around $8,000 in early trade today, up 18% in the last twenty-four hours.

The market trends are favoring bullish calls, as trader concerns over the increasing regulatory environment fade. Indeed, regulators role started translating into a critical catalyst for cryptocurrency prices. Market pundits believe growing regulations have resumed trader’s confidence in bitcoin and other digital currencies and paving the path for institutional investment.

“ Regulators are not banning the development of cryptocurrencies, but are trying to regulate better the market, which should help the industry mature ,” says Adrian Lai, founding partner at Orichal Partners.

The markets also received support from the potential investments from institutional investors in the days to come – who are waiting for the correct time to step into crypto markets. Reports are showing that Adam Fisher, who oversees macro investing in the New York-based Soros Fund Management, received the approval to buy into cryptocurrencies.
