Recent announcements about financial product projects backed by this cryptocurrency have boosted the bitcoin price in recent sessions.
Its price soared more than 4% on Friday to $31,410.93, its highest level since June 2022.
When the best known of the cryptocurrencies was born in October 2009, it was listed at $0.00076.
Since then it has experienced strong volatility, reaching almost $69,000 in November 2021, but with a sharp drop also in 2022.
The cryptocurrency market as a whole currently has an approximate value of 1,235 trillion dollars, of which almost 50% corresponds to bitcoin, according to the CoinGecko website, which performs an evolution of almost 1,000 cryptocurrencies.
“The cryptocurrency market continues to vibrate at the idea of a bitcoin-linked financial product in the United States,” which would allow investors to bet on the virtual currency as a regulated financial product, said Edward Moya, an analyst at Oanda.
The world’s first asset manager, BlackRock, filed a request to that effect with the US market watchdog, the SEC, in mid-June.
That initiative reassured investors, as cryptocurrency reporting recently focused on SEC warnings against trading platforms, dedicated to buying and selling crypto assets.
