Some of the fees range between 130% and 150%, more than doubling the cost of those items.

A surge in market inflows to spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has prompted analysts to project a potential rise in Bitcoin’s value to $200,000 by the end of 2025. This upward momentum could also create favourable conditions for several altcoins to gain traction. On 23 April, Bitcoin’s price approached the $95,000 resistance mark, supported by strong capital inflows into spot BTC ETFs and encouraging economic indicators in the United States. Data from Farside Investors showed that these ETFs attracted net inflows of $381.3 million on 21 April and a further $912.7 million on 22 April.
