Bitcoin, which is the most popular and largest cryptocurrency by capitalisation, broke through its milestone today. Breaking through the US$69,000 barrier officially lifts BTC to its highest ever levels, set in November 2021. Euphoria over the acceptance of spot ETFs and BTC's impending halving have fuelled the cryptocurrency, which has already gained nearly 63% since the start of the year.
