Bitcoin defies expectations, soaring past $29,000 and marking its strongest quarter in two years despite industry challenges
past $29,000 on the Bitstamp exchange, reaching a peak of $29,170, marking its strongest quarter in two years with a staggering 72% jump.The cryptocurrency has outperformed both the Nasdaq and gold, which have seen returns of 15% and 7% since the beginning of 2023, respectively.
This impressive growth comes despite a series of setbacks in the cryptocurrency sector, including regulatory lawsuits against exchanges and individuals, the banking crisis, and the absence of new institutional money entering the market. Hence, some find the rise in Bitcoin's price amidst these challenges puzzling.
Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange globally, along with its CEO Changpeng Zhao, have recently been hit with a lawsuit initiated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission . The legal action revolves around alleged violations of regulatory compliance.
