On April 20, BTC was trading above $84,000 levels, and its price surged above $88,000 on April 21, only to continue its bullish moves and reach current price levels.
Bitcoin’s price surge was catalyzed by multiple factors, including renewed interest in BTC ETFs, continued BTC acquisitions by Strategy₿, and Bitcoin supporter Paul Atkins taking on his role as the new SEC Chair in the US.
