According to Crypto Rover (@rovercrc), the US unemployment rate has risen to 4.1%, higher than the expected 4.0%. This unexpected increase could be bullish for Bitcoin, as investors might turn to cryptocurrencies as an alternative investment during times of economic uncertainty.

According to Eric Balchunas, BlackRock has added $IBIT to one of their smaller model portfolios, marking the first time they have included it in any of their models. This move is seen as a cautious step into the cryptocurrency market with a small allocation in the alternative investment bucket, indicating potential interest and confidence in the asset's future performance.
