Bitcoin continued its upward trend on Thursday after surpassing the $30,000 mark for the second time this year on the previous day. Bitcoin rose almost 5% in the past 24 hours to $30,219. The cryptocurrency has been climbing since last week after BlackRock announced that it had applied to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). Among altcoins, Stacks (STX), which is the native token of Bitcoin layer 2 Stacks Network, gained 16% on the day. Some traders have been speculating that with the recent positive news for bitcoin from institutional players, other assets related to bitcoin have also performed well. For example, litecoin and bitcoin cash are also up for the week.

Three Arrows Capital (3AC) has excited the crypto community again, this time with a surprise comeback using the same name, but in the guise of a venture capital (VC) firm. On Wednesday, OPNX, the bankruptcy claims exchange co-founded by CoinFLEX executives and two people behind the defunct 3AC hedge fund, announced that it has a new partner: 3AC Ventures. The partners will “invest in projects building in the OPNX ecosystem and working toward a decentralized future,” OPNX tweeted. 3AC Ventures has a website that says the new firm “is focused on superior risk-adjusted returns without leverage.” Hedge fund 3AC collapsed last year after suffering heavy losses during the implosion of Terra’s LUNA stablecoin.
