Bitcoin’s price wasn’t the only element that recorded a surge, other factors like supply profit as well as the Bitcoin futures volume on Bakkt also observed increased gains.
$20K Bitcoin’s Next Stop?
The entire crypto-verse expected the price of Bitcoin to record new highs, post halving, the king coin decided to take a backseat as the alts took over the crypto market. While Bitcoin took quite some time to breach $10K, the focus shifted on DeFi tokens. One such token was YFI, this fairly new coin almost hit $5K. This further prompted the crypto community to believe that YFI could possibly overtake Bitcoin to hit $10K. However, Bitcoin was done being sidelined as the price of the king coin shot up to $11K.
Recently, the price of Bitcoin finally broke past $10K after a long time. However, this was a brief stay as the coin plummeted back to into $9K zone. While this left several members of the crypto community concerned about the fate of Bitcoin, the king coin decided to go big. Earlier today, BTC hit a high of $11,194.99. During the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $10,659.21 with a 4.3 percent increase in price.
Bitcoin’s price movement caught the eye of many. While several speculated that the next stop for Bitcoin was at $20K, the others started calling out those who labeled Bitcoin “dead”. Charles Edwards of Capriole Investments also commented on Bitcoin’s recent price movement. His tweet read,
This huge $2000 move in #Bitcoin is all the more sweet given it was done with Gold, not stocks.
In a tumultuous year, Bitcoin is proving itself a safe haven. Crushing all other asset classes and up over 50%.
You just have to be patient.
