Bitcoin Surges to All-Time High Amid Market Uncertainty
New York, USA: Bitcoin soared past $69,000 for the first time, breaking its previous record just as bond yields climbed and stock markets wavered. Many investors flocked to crypto as a perceived haven from looming U.S. deficits and potential interest rate hikes. Trading volumes surged overnight, with Ethereum and other altcoins also jumping. While crypto enthusiasts hail Bitcoin’s rise as validation of “digital gold,” regulators remain cautious about price volatility and manipulation. Despite the milestone, some skeptics warn the crypto market is prone to wild swings.
