Bitcoin

Despite facing mounting <a href="https://finbold.com/category/regulations-news/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">regulatory</a> heat in the United States, Bitcoin (<a href="https://finbold.com/cryptocurrency/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>), the world’s leading cryptocurrency, has found respite in a recent surge of interest from institutional investors. This newfound enthusiasm from established financial players has effectively offset the losses experienced by Bitcoin, reigniting optimism within the crypto community.Notably, BTC surged above the $30,000 mark on Wednesday, June 21, marking the second time it has reached that threshold in 2023, now driven by a flurry of major traditional finance (TradFi) players foraying into the nascent crypto space.Last week, BlackRock, the largest asset management firm in the world and a Wall Street bigwig said it has <a href="https://finbold.com/massive-adoption-alert-blackrocks-ceo-once-said-zero-clients-interested-in-crypto/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">filed</a> to launch a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (<a href="https://finbold.com/etfs/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETF</a>). A few days later, two other well-known TradFi firms <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/bitcoin-etf-blackrock-invesco-wisdomtree-517e6539" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">followed suit</a>, including Invesco and WisdomTree.At the same time, <a href="https://finbold.com/top-global-financial-firms-fidelity-charles-schwab-and-citadel-unveil-crypto-exchange-for-us-investors/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">EDX</a>, a new crypto exchange backed by institutional giants such as Fidelity Digital Assets, Citadel Securities, and <a href="https://finbold.com/guide/buy-bitcoin-with-charles-schwab/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Charles Schwab</a>, announced its launch. EDX will initially list only four <a href="https://finbold.com/cryptocurrencies/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrencies</a>, including BTC, Ether (<a href="https://finbold.com/cryptocurrency/ethereum/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH</a>), Litecoin (<a href="https://finbold.com/cryptocurrency/litecoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">LTC</a>), and Bitcoin Cash (<a href="https://finbold.com/cryptocurrency/bitcoin-cash/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BCH</a>), which <a href="https://finbold.com/bitcoin-cash-bch-soars-over-20-in-a-day-heres-why/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">soared</a> 20% on the announcement.<h2 id="header-0">Bitcoin price analysis</h2>At the time of publication, the crypto coin was trading at $30,080, up 4.20% in the past 24 hours. BTC previously reached an intraday high of $30,664, before retracing to the current level.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/1d6c99a5ff844c848c77b033d905d6f7.jpg" />BTC 1-day price data. Source: FinboldOn a weekly chart, Bitcoin is up more than 20%, and over 80% since the start of the year.On Thursday, June 22, widely-followed <a href="https://finbold.com/category/cryptocurrency-news/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto market</a> expert Michaël van de Poppe <a href="https://twitter.com/CryptoMichNL/status/1671766466503532544?s&#61;20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">weighed in</a> on BTC’s latest rally.According to him, Bitcoin dominance, which is currently at 49.5%, is now “approaching the next point of resistance,” while BTC’s price also closes in on the next <a href="https://finbold.com/guide/support-and-resistance/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">resistance</a> level.In turn, this means that Bitcoin will likely “start to consolidate, so altcoins have some period of relief approaching and can pick up pace.”The last time Bitcoin touched the $30,000 level was in April, marking a significant milestone. However, its stay at this price level was fleeting, lasting only for a brief period. This time, with a fresh influx of capital and growing institutional confidence, investors hope BTC will retain its upward trajectory.Disclaimer: The content on this site should not be considered investment advice.
