What’s Going On With Bitcoin And Ethereum Today?

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) are trading higher Tuesday morning amid positive commentary from Bank of America analysts and the anticipated regulation of crypto in Brazil.

Bank of America said that cryptocurrency is too large to ignore and pointed to potential investment opportunities in the space. The analyst firm called blockchain the “most exciting new market in years."

“We believe crypto-based digital assets could form an entirely new asset class. Bitcoin is important with a market value of [about] $900 billion, but the digital asset ecosystem is so much more,” Bank of America analysts Andrew Moss and Alkesh Shah wrote in a research report.
