Bitcoin Price Hits $68K As Japan Weighs On Big Stimulus

Bitcoin price has soared past the $68K mark today, sparking market optimism. The surge in the crypto is driven by a recent Reuters report that Japan plans to unveil a massive stimulus package, exceeding last year’s $87 billion injection.

Notably, this move, aims to bolster the country’s economy, with Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Kazuhiko Aoki confirming the package will surpass previous measures. The stimulus is expected to boost consumption, investment, and wage growth, addressing Japan’s economic challenges.

Meanwhile, this development has bolstered market confidence, with many other positive trends appearing to be supporting the BTC rally. For instance, the rising institutional interest, as evidenced by the soaring BTC adoption of Metaplanet, MicroStrategy, and others, recently, also fueled market confidence.

On the other hand, the robust US Spot Bitcoin ETF inflow also fueled market spirit. According to Farside Investors data, the US Spot BTC ETF has recorded an influx of over $926 million just the starting two days of this week.
