In the current global crypto market trend, Bitcoin is making headlines. As the Bitcoin 2024 conference unfolds in Nashville, Bitcoin’s price has surged
Bitcoin price surged past $67,000 on Friday as the apex crypto remained in the spotlight at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville.
The price of BTC rose from around $65,000 on Thursday evening, continuing a rally that began earlier this week.
Bitcoin price hovered around $66,500 at last check on Friday morning, up 3.1% over the past 24 hours.
The world’s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization had risen 12.3% over the past seven days.
Bitcoin price soared to record highs of over $73,000 in March before pulling back amid broader weakness in crypto markets and the wider economy.
The Federal Reserve began raising interest rates in a bid to curb inflation, which had reached 40-year highs.
However, BTC recovered strongly in the second half of 2024, largely driven by institutional interest and the launch of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
Fresh data showed that a net $31.1 million flowed into spot Bitcoin ETFs on Thursday, bringing total inflows into the funds to $2.1 billion since their launch in December.
Meanwhile, Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop announced a 2% pension fund allocation to Bitcoin ETFs, a move that could pave the way for other municipalities to follow suit.
Moreover, Michigan’s $6.6 million investment in the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF highlighted growing institutional interest in crypto.
