The iShares Bitcoin Trust by BlackRock has made headlines by surpassing $70 billion in assets within a year, demonstrating an unprecedented influx of investment that outpaces even traditional gold funds. With a single-day trading volume of $2.7 billion, this growth highlights significant confidence in Bitcoin's durability.
Market watchers, including veteran trader Merlijn The Trader, suggest Bitcoin might be in the final stretch of a parabolic phase, with forecasts of hitting $130,000 if current momentum continues. At present, Bitcoin is trading around $109,670, reflecting a 2% hike over the last day. Investors are also closely monitoring upcoming U.S. Consumer Price Index figures and Federal Reserve meetings, which may further influence Bitcoin's trajectory.
