cnn.com/2024/03/04/business/bitcoin-record-high/
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 Surpasses $60,000, Approaching All-Time High
- Bitcoin has crossed the $60,000 mark, inching closer to its all-time high and maintaining its upward trajectory after the green light was given for a new investment option linked to the cryptocurrency.
- According to AFP, as of 1325 GMT on Wednesday, bitcoin was trading around $60,301, edging towards its all-time high of $68,991 recorded in November 2021, a level that some analysts believe could soon be revisited.
- The recent surge in the cryptocurrency's value can be attributed partly to US securities regulators' approval of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tied to bitcoin on January 10.
- This has created new opportunities for a broader segment of the public to invest in bitcoin indirectly without the need to hold the digital currency directly. However, the approval of these funds has sparked a renewed sense of optimism and interest in the cryptocurrency market.
