Quick Glance: Bitcoin: Why the Surge Might Not Last

Bitcoin is back in the limelight with a significant surge to record levels and wild fluctuations.

The resurgence of the Bitcoin market was significantly influenced by the decision of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to approve the spot trading of bitcoins by exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in January.

The introduction of ETFs and the upcoming "halving" of mined Bitcoins are key factors influencing the price.

The trading volatility signals that Bitcoin remains among the riskiest assets, highly dependent on future US interest rates.
