April Fool’s Bitcoin

Bitcoin’s sudden and unexpected price rise may have accidentally been spurred on by an April Fool’s joke, analysts have speculated.
An article published on 1 April by online cryptocurrency publication Finance Magnates claimed the US Securities and Exchange Commission had made the monumental decision to approve a bitcoin-based exchange traded fund (ETF).
Such a decision by the SEC would be seen by bitcoin investors as hugely positive for the cryptocurrency – the world’s first ETF backed by gold caused a 300 per cent rise in value for the commodity – however the US regulator has consistently failed to make a ruling on the ETF.
