Bitcoin has surged to a new all-time high, surpassing $69,000 before experiencing some fluctuations. Currently trading around $66,161, the cryptocurrency has seen a remarkable increase of over 50% in the last month. This surge can be attributed to major US finance giants like Blackrock, Fidelity, and Grayscale investing billions of dollars in Bitcoin, leading to a rapid increase in its value. The approval of spot Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) by US regulators has facilitated the entry of institutional investors into the market.
Despite the optimism surrounding Bitcoin's potential for setting new records, finance professor Carol Alexander warns about its volatility and the possibility of price crashes. This milestone marks a significant shift in Bitcoin's history, as it moves away from its anti-establishment origins.
Investors are increasingly optimistic about Bitcoin's future, driven in part by the introduction of ETFs, which have made the asset class more accessible to institutional investors. Additionally, the upcoming halving event, expected next month, is anticipated to create favorable conditions for a potential market rally. As Bitcoin's demand continues to rise, its supply is becoming scarcer. In February, US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw average daily inflows of $195 million, while daily Bitcoin production stands at around 900 coins, equivalent to approximately $54 million at a price of $60,000. The halving event, which reduces the mining reward, will further limit the supply of Bitcoin.
