Today let’s talk about the hot topic of Bitcoin. The price of Bitcoin has been skyrocketing recently, setting a new historical high. What is going on?
Let's first look at macroeconomic and policy factors. The global economy is now like a ship sailing in a rough sea. Trade frictions, geopolitical tensions and other issues continue to make investors a little lack of confidence in traditional assets. At this time, Bitcoin, as a decentralized digital asset, is regarded as a safe haven by some people, and a lot of funds have flowed into Bitcoin. In addition, the monetary policies of major central banks such as the Federal Reserve affect the market. When the market expects liquidity to be loose, risky assets such as Bitcoin will be more popular with investors.
Let's talk about the market and technical reasons. Bitcoin has a halving mechanism, which occurs every four years. After each halving, the supply of new coins decreases. The fourth halving completed in April this year made Bitcoin's scarcity more prominent. From historical data, Bitcoin prices often move significantly before and after halving. Another reason is that the market demand is too strong, a large amount of funds are pouring in, institutional investors are constantly increasing their holdings, and Bitcoin ETFs have also attracted a lot of funds. Everyone is optimistic about it and buys in, so the price is naturally pushed up.
Political and regulatory factors cannot be ignored. In the United States, President-elect Trump and some of his cabinet nominees have expressed support for Bitcoin and plan to establish a strategic reserve of Bitcoin, which is great news for the market. In addition, Microstrategy has been included in the Nasdaq 100 Index, which will indirectly allow more funds to flow into the cryptocurrency market, and Bitcoin will also benefit from it. Globally, the regulatory attitudes of some countries and regions towards cryptocurrencies have also changed, from the previous strict restrictions to moderate relaxation, which has also given investors more confidence.
For the financial market, the increasing market value of Bitcoin may become the "new gold" of the digital age, complementing traditional financial assets, but it also poses many challenges to the global financial system, such as how to regulate and maintain financial stability. Traditional financial institutions have also been impacted and must accelerate their digital transformation.
From a social and regulatory perspective, the popularity of Bitcoin has made the public aware of blockchain technology and digital assets, but regulators are having a headache: how can they protect investors and prevent risks while also allowing the market to develop healthily? These are all issues that need to be carefully considered.
