The increase in market value and the sustained interest in Bitcoin despite challenging conditions in the global financial markets has further cemented its role as a powerful and influential asset, as it is now worth more than 15 times its value at the beginning of the previous year.
Despite occasional dips, the overall trend over Q1 of 2023 has been upward and a growing number of traditional investors and institutions are now turning to Bitcoin as an attractive investment option according to familiar sources.
For instance, in the previous 24 hours, Bitcoin has been changing hands around the $21,122.97 mark and this has been mirrored by a spike in trading volumes.

In addition to institutional investors and long-term holders, there has been a surge in new entrants to the Bitcoin market. According to industry sources, investors from Japan, South Korea, and the USA are driving increased volumes in 2023 as they look to capitalize on the BTC/USD cryptocurrency pair. As more investors and traders join the Bitcoin market, it is likely that the digital currency’s market capitalization will continue to increase.
