<p class="has-drop-cap">Bitcoin’s (<a href="https://tokenist.com/investing/how-to-invest-in-bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">BTC</a>) value skyrocketed to $60,354.58 on Wednesday, reflecting a substantial single-day gain of $3,216.28 (5.63%). This latest surge solidly positions the pioneering cryptocurrency above the psychological $60,000 threshold, bringing it within striking distance of its all-time high.</p>
<p>The previous day’s close was reported at $57,071.10, indicating a <a href="https://tokenist.com/bitcoin-btc-hits-56k-as-halving-hype-and-microstrategy-fuel-market-optimism/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">remarkable uptick</a> in valuation over a remarkably short period. Bitcoin’s daily trading range spanned from $56,779.22 to $60,438.46, demonstrating continued volatility and intense interest in the booming cryptocurrency marketplace</p>

<p>Experts highlight Bitcoin’s meteoric price appreciation through February, which saw its value balloon by over 40% for the month – the most robust monthly performance in over two years. This parabolic rally, coupled with Bitcoin’s staggering $1.12 trillion <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/" target="_blank" aria-label="market capitalization (opens in a new tab)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">market capitalization</a> and liquidity supplied by its near-19 million circulating supply, underscores a resurgence in broader market confidence.</p>
<p>Hitting $60,131 marked Bitcoin’s highest valuation since briefly approaching $70,000 in November 2021. There has also been an almost 19 percent week-over-week upswing since February 21, as fresh capital inflows into recently launched U.S. spot <a href="https://tokenist.com/bitcoin-spot-etfs-could-see-40-4b-in-inflows-over-first-two-years-report/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">bitcoin exchange-traded funds</a> (ETFs) and building hype ahead of April’s halving event fueled the sharp uptrend.</p>
<p>Expectations for impending Federal Reserve interest rate cuts have further stoked institutional and retail investor interest.</p>
