The world’s largest cryptocurrency has rallied over 8% in the last 24-hours on the back of various traditional finance players jumping into crypto.

Bitcoin (BTC), the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market value, has rallied above $29,000 for the first time in over a month. This comes following an uptick in bullish sentiment in the crypto market as traditional finance (TradFi) players push further into crypto.

Last week, investment giant BlackRock (BLK) filed for a U.S. bitcoin exchange traded fund (ETF) and on Tuesday, Deutsche Bank said it had for a digital asset custody license in Germany.

Adding to this, crypto exchange EDX Markets, which received funding from financial heavyweights including Charles Schwab (SCHW), Citadel Securities and Fidelity Digital Assets, its trading services.

Bitcoin appears to have outperformed the majority of other digital assets following these advancements, gaining over 8% in 24-hours and pushing to a level it has not seen since May 6, 2022.

Some traders see further gains ahead, with the cryptocurrency possibly $30,400.

It's been nearly two months since the trend of celebrities and politicians launching memecoins began. During this period, liquidity in the Solana ecosystem almost dried up. Pump.fun, which once saw over 2000 successful launches landing on DEXs daily, hit a low of just slightly over 50 new projects per day, marking a drop of nearly 97%. During the two months, Pump.fun also rolled out its own DEX, Pump Swap, while major centralized exchanges (CEXs) accelerated their transition and put toward products combining spot and on-chain transactions. These offerings help bridge the liquidity gap between CEXs and on-chain trading, in order to capture opportunities in early-stage tokens' hype and drive a faster recovery in Solana's on-chain liquidity.
