Bitcoin surges to a new record high as mainstream money flows into crypto
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.

Quick Glance: Bitcoin price surges: Reasons behind the cryptocurrency's resurgence
  • Bitcoin has rebounded after a previous downturn, with a supply-demand imbalance counteracting the impact of interest rates.

  • Currently, Bitcoin is experiencing a sustained recovery to levels last seen during low interest rates and high art prices.

  • In February, the cryptocurrency market's total value reached $2 trillion for the first time since April 2022, amidst the potential for prolonged higher interest rates.

  • The increasing demand for Bitcoin ETF approvals and the upcoming Bitcoin halving event are contributing to the current surge in demand.
