Bitcoin Reaches $64,316 as Institutional Demand and Diplomatic Hopes Boost Price
The price of Bitcoin (BTC) continues to rise, reaching $64,316 at the time of writing on Wednesday. This growth is attributed to both institutional demand and easing market fears.
Institutional investors are showing renewed interest in Bitcoin, with spot Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) experiencing inflows for a second consecutive day this week. According to SoSoValue data, these ETFs saw an influx of $211.49 million on Tuesday, following an earlier inflow of $170.09 million.
The geopolitical situation between the US and Iran is also contributing to Bitcoin's growth. Hopes for a diplomatic resolution have boosted risk appetite, with the OPEC+ decision to increase oil production from September helping to ease supply concerns and lower crude prices.
