Bitcoin surges 22% in its best week since 2023

Bitcoin's value has surged to $77,000, a 6% increase, after a series of short position liquidations and potential advances in regulation. The cryptocurrency has risen for five consecutive days, with a 22.6% gain, and is on track for its best week since March 2023. The US Treasury's decision to double bond buybacks and increased institutional demand have contributed to the rise.

According to Zaye Capital, US bitcoin spot products attracted $520 million in net inflows on Wednesday, their largest daily inflow in three and a half months. US President Donald Trump has called for the unblocking of the Digital Asset Clarity Law, currently stalled in Congress.
