El bitcoin prosigue la escalada y supera los 81.000 dólares

La criptomoneda acumula una revalorización cercana al 26% desde el pasado miércoles. Leer

The value of Bitcoin continues its upward trend, surpassing $81,000 for the first time since May 15. The digital currency has climbed nearly 26% since Wednesday, reaching the $81,000 mark just before 4:42 AM on Tuesday, according to Bloomberg data. At that time, Bitcoin was trading at $81,257.98, marking a 2.95% increase. The cryptocurrency has gained around 26% since Wednesday, when the U.S. Treasury announced plans to accelerate and potentially double its bond-buyback volume to support long-term, 10- to 20- to 30-year securities liquidity.

The announcement came after a surge in bond yields, with the 30-year yield reaching a 2007 high of 5.31% and the 10-year yield surpassing 4.7%. Just before the announcement, Bitcoin traded around $64,750, but the cryptocurrency surged rapidly in value since then, marking that 26% gain. Despite this significant rise, the digital currency has still depreciated 7.3% since the beginning of the year. Since touching its annual low of $57,742.12 on July 1, the asset has rebounded 39.9%.
