💸 Institutional Interest Is Growing in the Crypto Market💸
Bitcoin (BTC) price continues its upward trend since the beginning of 2023. This rise not only affects the cryptocurrency world, but also attracts great attention in the financial arena. This is a sign that cryptocurrencies are now gaining institutional interest and acceptance in the traditional financial system.
Other companies such as MicroStrategy, Square, and Tesla are among the institutional investors investing in Bitcoin. Wanting to keep up with this innovation, Galaxy Digital announced that it will invest 100 million dollars in Bitcoin in the last quarter of 2023. The company explained that this investment reflects its belief in the long-term potential of Bitcoin.
