Bitcoin and XRP have risen ahead of the March jobs report, which will be released on Good Friday. The U.S. stock market is closed due to the Good Friday holiday. Bitcoin (BTC) was trading at $67,010.05 at the time of writing, up 1.1% in 24 hours, while ETH (Ethereum) was up by 1.5%. The market is also anticipating the March report on nonfarm payrolls.
