🚀 Bitcoin: the latest updates (May 19, 2025)👇

1. Trading range and today’s performance

As of May 19, Bitcoin traded between $102,112.69 (24h low) and $107,068.72 (24h high), settling at $102,988.29, down 0.81 % in the last 24 hours.

2. BIP‑177 proposal reignites unit debate

On April 23, developer John Carvalho introduced Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 177 to retire “satoshi” as the base unit and express 1 BTC as 100,000,000 “bitcoins,” effectively splitting the total supply into 21 trillion units. Proponents like Jack Dorsey argue this simplifies use, while critics say sats are no more complex than fiat cents.

3. Live X Space with CEO Richard Teng

Today at 13:00 UTC (May 19), Binance hosted an X Space with CEO Richard Teng to share the exchange’s roadmap and strategic outlook. Such sessions often precede platform feature rollouts and can spur short‑term volatility in BNB and related pairs.

Why BTC could gain momentum from here

• Fixed cap of 21 million BTC with the next halving due around April 2028.

• Growing institutional ETF flows reinforcing long‑term demand.

• Layer 2 and protocol upgrades (Lightning Network, Ordinals) boosting usability.

• Network security and hash rate at all‑time highs, underscoring robustness.
