In a stunning surge of enthusiasm, Bitcoin’s price soared to heights not seen in over a year on Tuesday in Asia, as investors buzzed with excitement over the potential launch of an exchange-traded fund (ETF) tied to the world’s largest cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin, with the highest market capitalization in the crypto realm, hit an impressive peak of $34,332.67, marking its most robust performance since May 2022. This milestone was achieved after a period of turbulence triggered by the sudden collapse of tokens Luna and TerraUSD, which had sent shockwaves through the global digital asset market.

As the news reverberated throughout the crypto community, Bitcoin did experience a slight pullback but remained on an upward trajectory, showing an impressive 11.9 percent gain over the past 24 hours, ultimately settling at $33,624.02.
