This milestone was reached as the halving event draws nearer.
Bitcoin’s Value on Binance
The price of Bitcoin peaked at $70,330 on Binance earlier today.
However, it has since corrected to the $68,000 level.
Data from CoinGlass indicates that traders liquidated long positions worth $60.4 million in the wake of Bitcoin’s sharp increase.
This suggests that traders started to take profits as Bitcoin’s price hit its all-time high.
Factors Behind Bitcoin’s Surge
Over the past month, the price of Bitcoin has soared by approximately 60%, pushing its market capitalization beyond $1.34 trillion.
The significant rise in Bitcoin’s price is largely due to an influx of capital into American ETFs that invest directly in Bitcoin.
As per recent data, the cumulative trading volume of spot Bitcoin ETFs has surpassed $100 billion.
Another key factor contributing to Bitcoin’s growth is the upcoming halving event, scheduled for April.
Following this event, the mining reward for Bitcoin will be reduced by half.
