Bitcoin Is Mooning: Here Are BTC’s Biggest Single-Day Price Gains in History

The price of Bitcoin continues to surge, with spot Bitcoin ETFs in the rearview mirror and the halving coming in April. Renewed euphoria has swirled as the price of Bitcoin skyrocketed to $64,000 on Wednesday. “Fourth Bitcoin bull market, and this all feels very different,” prominent Bitcoin podcast host Peter McCormack said on Twitter.

Is Bitcoin Poised for Another Bull Run? Experts Weigh In

Bitcoin today hit $39,000 per coin for the first time since a brutal digital asset crash in May 2022 that brought with it a long and painful bear market.  The virtual coin has since made a terrific comeback: at the start of January, it was trading for less than $17,000 per coin; it is now up 128%. Could this mean we’re seeing the beginning of a bull run? Some experts say it’s only up from here.    A lot has happened in the crypto space since blockchain project Terra collapsed last year, leading...

Invesco Drops Bitcoin Futures ETF Filing

In a move that surprised some experts, Invesco Ltd, an investment management company with $1.3 trillion in assets under management, decided not to immediately pursue its Bitcoin futures application. “We have determined not to pursue the launch of a Bitcoin futures ETF in the immediate near-term,” an Invesco spokesperson told Bloomberg. The firm added that it will carry on with its Galaxy Digital partnership to offer investors a “full shelf of products” with exposure to digital assets, including...

Shark Tank's 'Mr. Wonderful': Bitcoin Institutional Investment Is 'BS'

Canadian investor Kevin O'Leary, better known as "Mr. Wonderful" on the investment pitch series "Shark Tank," is personally investing in Bitcoin. But he doesn't think institutional investors like mutual funds and insurers are, despite what others say. "You bring on guests all the time that say, 'Oh, institutions are getting into Bitcoin.' That's BS," he told Oliver Renick of the TD Ameritrade Network today. "They are not yet. There is no institution out there, any sovereign or pension plan, that...

Is the Bitcoin Bull Run Just Getting Started? Experts Weigh In

That Bitcoin bull may still have some kick in him yet, despite the events of the past week, experts tell Decrypt.  Bitcoin’s latest price crash (or “correction,” if you’re technical and perhaps more optimistic) has many investors worried—especially those new to the game who have been quick to sell.  Some are already fearing the worst—another frosty crypto winter, when we’re still in May. Bitcoin showed signs that the bull run may be coming to an end when the crypto market suffered its worst dol...

BlackRock Still 'Studying' Bitcoin, Wary of Market Volatility

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, is studying crypto, but has warned of its volatility, according to reports. Larry Fink, the CEO of the company, which manages $9 trillion-worth of assets, made the comments during a shareholder meeting today—seven days after Bitcoin suffered its worst pullback in history. Last week, on a day dubbed “Black Wednesday,” Bitcoin fell 30% in 24 hours and the entire crypto market lost more than $500 billion. Fink warned investors that it was too early to...

Despite Historic Crash, Most Bitcoin Investors Still in Profit: Report

The Bitcoin market just suffered one of the worst crashes in its 12-year history. And yet, despite the massive drawdown over the last several days, most Bitcoin investors are still in the profit. While it’s true that the crash can be partly blamed on panic selling, most long-term holders aren’t up for flogging their coins, according to blockchain analysis company Glassnode, whose latest figures show that 73.17% of all Bitcoin “entities” are still in the black.  An “entity” is defined by Glassnod...

How Today’s Bitcoin Slump Compares to 2017 Bull Run Drawdown

Bitcoin’s latest price slump has got investors sweating. Do they have reason to worry? Not if you’re a long-time HODLer looking at the bigger picture, argues blockchain analysis company Glassnode in a report today.  The weekend dip—with Bitcoin trading down 26.1% over the course of the week—is the deepest correction the current Bitcoin bull run has experienced, says Glassnode.  Corrections, though, are common in the world of investments, and Bitcoin is no different. Whenever a market runs too h...

Bitcoin Whales Are Dwindling: What Does That Mean for the Market?

The number of Bitcoin whales is dwindling, according to figures released this week from blockchain data provider Glassnode. That fact might seem counterintuitive. Aren’t more big players in the finance and tech worlds buying up Bitcoin than ever before?  Well, yes and no.  It’s true that large companies, such as Square and Tesla, have bought up large hoards of Bitcoin within the last few months. Payments company Square, for example, now holds $394 million in Bitcoin as part of its treasury. And...

Tesla's Bitcoin Bombshell Puts Spotlight on Sustainable Cryptos

Cryptocurrencies crashed across the board today—an event already being dubbed “Rug Wednesday”—after erstwhile Bitcoin champion Elon Musk declared that Tesla would no longer be taking payments in the cryptocurrency for its era-defining electric motors.  Musk cited concerns over the energy expenditure of mining Bitcoin—immediately shaving around $5,000 off Bitcoin’s price—but he held out a carrot to altcoin fans (anyone who’s not a Bitcoiner). “We are also looking at other cryptocurrencies that us...

The new offering aims to attract priced-out retail investors and flexibility-seeking institutional investors. What it boils down to is that Bitcoin futures contracts are now available to investors at $6,660 in today’s market—a far cry from $290,000, the worth of non-micro Bitcoin futures. “When you look at the price of Bitcoin and how much it’s appreciated ov...

Cryptocurrency Market Hits $2 Trillion, Doubling in Just 3 Months

The cryptocurrency market is now worth $2 trillion, according to new figures from crypto data provider CoinGecko. It’s been just three months since the global crypto market capitalization hit $1 trillion—a number that took a decade to reach.  “Global crypto market capitalization” is a sort of an ambiguous shorthand, since there are more coins than the 6,626 tracked by CoinGecko. By comparison, the Binance-owned CoinMarketCap only tracks a little over 4,000 coins and is currently reporting a tota...

Bitcoin is now the world’s third-largest currency, according to a report by Deutsche Bank. And with the cryptocurrency soaring 750% to reach $60,000 this month—and a market cap in excess of $1 trillion—it’s become too big for the banks to ignore. But there’s little consensus among the big investment banks as to whether the asset class is a long-term value proposition—or even whether it’s a proposition at all.  US Federal Reserve chair Jay Powell has said that crypto assets are more for speculati...
