Wall Street was moderately upbeat last week with the S&P 500 (up 0.8%), the Dow Jones (up 1.2%), the Nasdaq Composite (up 0.3%) and the Russell 2000 (up 1.5%) gaining moderately. Cryptocurrency has topped the list of winners last week due to the bets over slower interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.

Bitcoin, the largest digital currency by market value, has gained about 2.6% in prices in the past five trading sessions (as of Apr 14, 2023). Bitcoin and other crypto tokens were trading with big gains last week as the moderate momentum continued.

Bitcoin marched toward the $31,000-mark as the largest crypto token was trading 2% higher. Its largest peer, Ethereum, too outdid with a big margin as it jumped more than 10% to hit the $2,1000-mark. Notably, data indicating cooling inflation released last week cut the bets over faster Fed rate hikes this year and boosted high-risk and high-growth investing areas like cryptocurrency.

Against this backdrop, below we highlight a few cryptocurrency ETFs that topped last week.
