$BTC

Bitcoin ($BTC) is the first decentralized digital currency, launched in 2009 by an unknown person known as "Satoshi Nakamoto". Bitcoin relies on blockchain technology, which ensures transparency and security in transactions without the need for a central intermediary. Its value has experienced significant fluctuations; it sharply increased in 2017, then declined, before reaching its all-time high in late 2021, exceeding $68,000.

In 2024, Bitcoin witnessed important developments, most notably the fourth "halving" event, which reduced the block mining reward, thus decreasing the new supply and increasing the likelihood of price appreciation. Institutional interest has also grown, especially after the approval of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in America. Bitcoin is expected to continue playing a pivotal role in the future of digital assets.
