Bitcoin Soars on Hopes for US Crypto Legislation and Surprising Treasury Move
Bitcoin has surged more than five percent for the third straight day due to growing optimism over US cryptocurrency legislation.
The world's largest cryptocurrency by market value rose 6.6% to $77,472.44 on Friday, its highest level since May, and is now up over 20% since Wednesday.
This surge in Bitcoin's price comes as the US Treasury has made a surprise move to buy back more of its own bonds, which has fueled a shift towards riskier assets.
The increase in Bitcoin's value indicates that investors are becoming increasingly optimistic about the future of cryptocurrency regulation in the US.
