$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC), the world’s first and largest cryptocurrency by market cap, continues to serve as a benchmark for the digital asset market. Created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, BTC operates on a decentralized, peer-to-peer network using blockchain technology. It is widely regarded as "digital gold" due to its capped supply of 21 million coins and role as a hedge against inflation. Despite price volatility, institutional adoption and interest from governments have grown steadily. As of June 2025, Bitcoin remains a leading force in shaping global crypto policy, decentralized finance, and the evolving landscape of digital currency investment.
