Bitcoin reached a two-year high, surging over 10% in two sessions, propelled by significant purchases from major players in the cryptocurrency space. The rally was fueled by an announcement from MicroStrategy, a crypto investor and software firm, revealing its recent acquisition of approximately 3,000 bitcoins for $155 million. This move, coupled with the recent approval of bitcoin-owning exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States, contributed to the positive momentum. The development led to increased trading volumes in ETFs and a rally in crypto-linked firms, contrasting the cautious sentiment in broader markets. Bitcoin reached $57,036, its highest level since late 2021, while Ether, its counterpart, rose to $3,275, marking its highest value since April 2022. Market experts note that the demand spurred by U.S. spot ETFs appears relentless, emphasizing the impact of institutional players on the cryptocurrency market.
