2. Key Drivers Behind Current Price
a. Spot Bitcoin ETFs
Over $70 billion has flowed into US-based Bitcoin ETFs since January.
These ETFs (e.g., BlackRock, Fidelity, VanEck) created real institutional demand and helped legitimize Bitcoin on Wall Street.
b. Bitcoin Halving (April 2024)
The block reward dropped from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC, reducing daily new supply.
Historically, each halving leads to a bull run 12–18 months later.
Current price behavior is following the same post-halving consolidation we saw in 2016 and 2020 cycles.
c. Institutional Adoption
MicroStrategy now holds over 300,000 BTC, and companies like Tesla, BlackRock, and ARK Invest have direct or ETF exposure.
Sovereign interest: Rumors that countries like Argentina and Turkey are considering BTC as partial reserves.
d. Macro Environment
Interest rates are still high in the US, but rate cuts expected by mid-2025 could push more capital into risk assets like BTC.
Rising concerns about global inflation and de-dollarization have driven some investors to view Bitcoin as digital gold.
