Summary:

The award of a digital banking license to Anchorage is pushing the BTCUSD pair above the $38,000 price level, with Ethereum ad Rank.

Bitcoin prices soared back above the $38,000 after Anchorage Digital Bank became the first digital asset bank to come under Federal regulation.

Under the new arrangement, institutional participants will have a vehicle with which to carry out additional cryptocurrency-related projects such as staking or lending.

45972.96 could be the next target if the existing ATH is taken out.

On the other hand, failure to confirm a break of 38162.46 could lead to a retest of 35997.70, with 32239.66 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement) serving as an additional downside target.
