Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, today surpassed $10,000. It hit highs of $10,023 at 10.10am UTC.
The price of Bitcoin fell after its peak; by 11am, it had fallen to $9,927. Then one last hurrah to $9,985 before settling at its current price, $9,954.
That Bitcoin has brushed past $10,000, if only for a few minutes, is proof that its dry spell is ending. Bitcoin’s price has barely changed for almost two months and only now is its fate beginning to change.
The last time Bitcoin’s price surpassed $10,000 was June 2. Then, the price of Bitcoin hit highs of $10,200, according to data from metrics site CoinMarketCap. But it wasn’t to last and Bitcoin hovered around $9,200 for the rest of June and all of July—until now.
The price point of $10,000 is important for Bitcoin because that was roughly the price of Bitcoin before the coronavirus-inspired market crash earlier this year, which virtually cut the price of Bitcoin in two in as many days. Bitcoin has been recovering from the crash ever since, and surpassing $10,000 would mean that it’s made a full recovery.
One can only speculate why Bitcoin has increased. It might be because there’s a lot of interest in DeFi, or decentralized finance, right now. DeFi refers to non-custodial financial products, most of which live on Ethereum. Ethereum today hit a peak of $316, its highest price since July 2019.
Before today’s price rise, lots of Bitcoin made its way to exchanges, according to a recent report by Glassnode. For the first time since January, more Bitcoin entered exchanges this month than left it.
Another thing that supports this theory: Bitcoin is losing dominance to altcoins. According to CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin’s dominance over the cryptocurrency market is only 62%, the lowest it’s been since last July.
“Therefore, it makes sense [that] the net flows of bitcoin to exchanges start to pump again, as most investors and traders use exchanges to switch from BTC into [altcoins],” Pedro Febrero, a market analyst at Quantum Economics, told Decrypt.

Livestreaming with an attached meme coin was popularized this year after a mom promised sexual acts if her apparent son’s meme coin, called LiveMom, hit specific market caps. Despite promising to pour milk over her “36DDs,” the same ones her son allegedly “actually suckled on,” the pair ghosted with nothing really crazy going down. But clearly, some degens saw the viral sensation this became and tried to capitalize on it. Quickly, a flurry of copycat tokens launched, including LiveSis, countles...
Top college football prospect Matai Tagoa’i is set to join football stars like Russell Okung, Odell Beckham Jr., and Trevor Lawrence by receiving his compensation in Bitcoin. The linebacker will be paid part of his earnings via the Strike app after signing a “name, image, and likeness” (NIL) deal with the University of Southern California (USC). The exact details of his package are not known, but some college football players, such as Shedeur Sanders, have received estimated payouts of up to $4....
The world’s largest asset manager BlackRock just debuted a new advertisement proselytizing the virtues of Bitcoin, but rather than cheer on the Bitcoin ETF issuer for its efforts, Bitcoiners aren’t happy. The video, which is housed on the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) ETF page on BlackRock’s website, spends three minutes walking viewers through the evolution of money and key fundamentals of Bitcoin. One of those fundamentals is Bitcoin’s 21 million fixed token supply. While the video explains t...
