On March 4, the price of Bitcoin broke $65,000, bringing it closer to returning to an all-time high reached in November 2021.

In 2024, the cryptocurrency has gained over 48%, rapidly approaching its record intra-day all-time high of over $68,000. In January, Bitcoin ETFs were first approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). .
