Bitcoin has achieved a new milestone by reaching an all-time high, surpassing previous records set in November 2021. The cryptocurrency's value soared past $65,000 on Monday and continued its upward trajectory, briefly hitting over $69,000. This surge in value is attributed to a significant influx of capital, more than $7.5bn, into the market, particularly with the approval and trading of new Bitcoin ETFs since January 11. The digital currency's remarkable rise, increasing by more than 30% since February 25, is seen as a response to sustained demand for Bitcoin ETFs and the broader acceptance of cryptocurrencies within mainstream financial markets. Federal regulators' decision to allow cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin to enter the mainstream through exchange-traded funds has been a key factor in this record-breaking performance, with Bitcoin hitting an intraday high of $68,991.85 on November 10th, 2021, and surpassing the prior nominal record of $69,225.
