The story so far
Traders who bet on bitcoin staying below $67,000 were caught off guard when the U.S. Treasury's actions triggered a sudden market shift.
The Treasury's buybacks sparked a rapid increase in bitcoin's value, leading to its largest weekly gain since March 2024. Bitcoin logged a rare positive August return, with some outlets suggesting a potential $1 trillion price game-changer.
The unexpected surge followed a period of slump for both bitcoin and gold, which had seen a downturn before rebounding sharply. The market's volatility underscores the unpredictable nature of cryptocurrency investments, with significant shifts occurring within short timeframes.
