Bitcoin recently surged after a major event that halved its supply, increasing its value. Experts predict further growth due to increased functionality, high fees during the event, and the introduction of Bitcoin ETFs. El Salvador's adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender has also boosted its legitimacy. Despite potential volatility, Bitcoin is expected to reach new price highs due to its strong fundamentals.
El Salvador has profited greatly from its investment in Bitcoin. Nigeria has detained two Binance executives and demanded a $10 billion penalty. Hong Kong has launched a regulatory sandbox for stablecoin issuers. These developments showcase the differing approaches governments are taking towards cryptocurrencies.
