$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Launched in 2009 by an anonymous figure, Satoshi Nakamoto, it operates on a decentralized blockchain network using peer-to-peer technology. Bitcoin’s market is highly volatile, driven by investor sentiment, macroeconomic trends, regulatory developments, and institutional adoption. It is widely seen as digital gold and a hedge against inflation. The limited supply of 21 million coins adds scarcity value. BTC is traded globally 24/7 on various exchanges, with high liquidity and substantial trading volume. Its market dominance influences other cryptocurrencies, making it a key indicator in the digital asset space.
