Reason Behind the Success of BTC
The upward trend of the day was mainly due to the news that the Digital Currency Group is planning to acquire $250 million worth of shares of GBTC, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust. This news has come to the spotlight at a very intriguing time because the shares of the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust were being traded at a fifteen percent discount compared to the spot price of BTC throughout the main exchanges.
Although institutional investors are taking credit for the recent increase in the value of the crypto asset, the truth is that there is an increased interest in BTC investment all over the world. The recently collected data shows that 10,000 BTC ATMs have been put up in the United States of America since 1st March 2020. This takes it to a 57.5% increase in the no. of ATMs that got equipped BTC access over the past few years.
Some experts said that a deviation in the prices of treasury yields, tech stocks, or the US Dollar could impact the current prices and the future trends of the BTC. The main reason for BTC flourishing, however, was reported to be the institutional interest in Bitcoin.
