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). . The SEC said the approval of the ETFs were meant to make it easier for investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin without having to actually own the digital coins.

This event will see the rate of supply for new bitcoin to decline, which could cause the value of the cryptocurrency to increase if demand remains unchanged. Some mainstream investment experts have still urged caution when it comes to investing in the controversial cryptocurrency.
