History

Historical Context

Bitcoin's meteoric rise to nearly $20,000 in December 2017 was fueled by factors like the European sovereign-debt crisis and increased media interest. This surge led to over 1,500 new cryptocurrencies and a market cap exceeding $300 billion. Today, with 73,702 BTC accumulated, renewed demand mirrors the 2017 bullish sentiment, as the expiration of $22.6 billion in Bitcoin options looms.
