Key Performance Drivers of Bitcoin
1. Institutional Interest:
Investors and major centers have increased their Bitcoin holdings, contributing to price stability and growth.
Bitcoin ETFs have gained global momentum, attracting traditional investors.
2. Scarcity:
With only about 2.2 Million BTC left to be mined, scarcity plays a major role in driving demand.
The Bitcoin halving event in 2024 (scheduled for around April) is expected to reduce mining rewards, which could boost the price.
3. Macroeconomic Factors:
Concerns about inflation and currency devaluation have pushed investors towards Bitcoin as a hedge.
Regulatory clarity in major markets has helped improve sentiment.
