Cryptocurrency Surge– Bitcoin has surpassed the $50,000 threshold for the first time in more than two years, driven by anticipations of upcoming interest rate reductions and recent regulatory approvals for US exchange-traded funds (ETFs) linked to its value. Its ascent of 16.3 percent since the beginning of the year has brought it to its highest point since December 27, 2021.
As of the most recent update on Monday, Bitcoin exhibited a 4.96 percent increase, reaching $49,899 and maintaining its position near the $50,000 mark. On the same day, other stocks related to cryptocurrencies also observed positive movements, including a 4.9 percent surge in crypto exchange Coinbase, and increases of 10.8 percent and 11.9 percent for crypto miners Riot Platforms and Marathon Digital, respectively.
