- The drop in BTC price over the previous 24 hours was partly predicted.
- Bitcoin has been up 3.42% in the last 24 hours.
When Bitcoin (BTC) fell below the $45,000 mark on March 31, investors were taken aback by the speed the cryptocurrency recovered to reach the $46,500 mark. After falling to $44,210 overnight, BTC rebounded to over $46,500 by lunchtime, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
For the foreseeable future, the state of the cryptocurrency markets will be greatly affected by developments in the global financial market. According to David Lifchitz, managing partner and chief investment officer of ExoAlpha, the drop in BTC price over the previous 24 hours was partly predicted. “seven-day win streak” and quarter-end activity from institutional investors were cited by Lifchitz as contributing factors to the decrease.
2 Million BTC
According to CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap, the 19 millionth Bitcoin was mined today. As a result, the total number of Bitcoins in circulation will never rise over 2 million. New Bitcoins are being granted to miners at a slower pace. The last Bitcoin is expected to be mined in 2140 as a reward for solving complicated mathematical problems using processing power. Moreover, the value of Bitcoin held by investors for at least a year has reached a record high of 12 million $BTC.

The Bitcoin (BTC) network’s mining difficulty reached an all-time high of 28.587 trillion on Friday, just as the Bitcoin (BTC) miners helped release the 19th millionth BTC in circulation. Because of the high processing power needed to mine BTC blocks (201.84 exahashes per second, or EH/s), Bitcoin’s network has a high degree of difficulty.
According to CoinMarketCap, the Bitcoin price today is $46,657.16 USD with a 24-hour trading volume of $34,070,462,707 USD. Bitcoin has been up 3.42% in the last 24 hours.
