Bitcoin is on a roll as it blasts past the $24,000 mark, and investors are wondering whether a new bull market is starting. After Bitcoin hit an all-time high in December 2017, it suffered a major crash and has been struggling to regain its previous heights ever since.
However, recent events such as major companies investing in Bitcoin and institutional adoption have fueled a surge in prices, leading many to speculate that a new bull market is on the horizon.
In addition, the recent establishment of a new unit by the Bank of New York Mellon aimed at helping customers to hold, transfer, and issue digital assets has been seen as a significant contributing factor to the recent surge in the value of Bitcoin.
