Todd Sohn from Strategas Securities suggested that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are poised to significantly contribute to market growth. With regulatory clarity in the crypto space growing and products like the BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF gaining traction, investors might see a substantial buildout of the crypto market enhancing the overall performance of the index.
