HONG KONG—Bitcoin hovered below record levels on Wednesday, the day after the first U.S. bitcoin futures-based exchange-traded fund (ETF) began trading, a development that market participants say is likely to drive investment into the digital asset.
The world’s leading cryptocurrency was last at $63,998, off 0.4 percent, but still within a short jump of its record of $64,895.22, hit April 14 this year.
