SkyBridge Capital, Anthony Scaramucci’s billion-dollar hedge fund has filed with the SEC to launch its own Bitcoin fund named SkyBridge Bitcoin Fund L.P. with Scaramucci being the manager of the fund. If the proposal gets approved then a lot of institutional investors will get exposure to Bitcoin through this fund. 

2) Argentina sees a spike in the number of people buying and holding Bitcoin.

In Argentina, the bad public policies have taken things to a crisis level and the coronavirus outbreak has forced the citizen of Argentina to turn to Bitcoin to store value as explained by Maximiliano Hinz, Binance’s director of operations for Latin America. Binance has also seen a 5 times increase in people operating in Binance from Argentina as compared to 2019. Maximiliano Hinz said 

From January to today, the number of Argentinean users in Binance has multiplied by five. But this was not the case in all platforms. If we talk about a market average, we could say that the number of users grew by 300% this year

3) Riot Blockchain hash rate to increase by 65%.

Riot Blockchain, a cryptocurrency mining company has purchased 15,000 Antminers which is expected to increase the hashtag rate by 65%. This purchase has cost $35 million to the company which includes 3,000 S19 Pro Antminers and 12,000 S19j Pro Antminers. Riot CEO Jeff McGonegal said 

Expanding the Company’s bitcoin mining hash rate and operating on a cost-effective basis is very important, particularly during periods when the bitcoin spot price has appreciably increased.
