Bitcoin Smashes Past $54K 🖥️ ZEAL KRYS 📈 BIRG SGRY 📉

FlowBank's hand-curated fresh financial news [header_noDither] Bitcoin Blasts Beyond $54K, Igniting Crypto Markets! Bitcoin's price surged above $54,000 for the first time since December 2021, marking a significant rally with a 5% increase to $54,460.00 and peaking at $54,965.26. This surge is attributed to the settlement day for bitcoin futures, anticipation of the bitcoin halving in late April, and a broader lift in the crypto market with notable gains in Ether, Solana, Cardano’s ADA, and Polygon’s MATIC. Crypto-related stocks like Coinbase and Microstrategy also experienced significant increases. The rally followed a period of flat trading and is part of a 27% monthly gain, driven by positive developments in crypto regulation, increased retail participation, and anticipation of key events such as the bitcoin halving and Ethereum’s next tech upgrade.
