Bitcoin returns to $100,000, and market sentiment gradually warms up

Recently, Israel launched a preemptive strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, followed by Iran's counterattack, causing a sudden escalation in the Middle East situation, which led to severe fluctuations in the cryptocurrency market and global stock markets. Bitcoin once plummeted to $104,000, triggering panic among investors, but just a few days later, the price rebounded to $107,000, showcasing a strong trend again.

The core driving force behind this rebound is the "buying the dip" actions of institutional investors. Two Bitcoin reserve companies, Strategy and Metaplanet, purchased a total of 11,212 Bitcoins in the past 24 hours. Among them, Strategy bought 10,100 BTC for approximately $10.1 billion, while Metaplanet increased its holdings by 1,112 BTC for about $117 million.

Metaplanet originally planned to accumulate 10,000 BTC by 2025, but has now achieved this goal ahead of schedule and announced a new development roadmap, planning to increase its holdings to 210,000 BTC in the future. Metaplanet CEO Simon Gajlovic stated, "This era will be divided between those who bought Bitcoin and those who didn't," expressing high confidence in Bitcoin.

In fact, such large-scale buying news brings positive signals to the market, and Bitcoin's price quickly rebounded, restoring investor confidence.

Additionally, in the past 24 hours, Bitcoin trading volume surged by about 29%, reaching $46.2 billion, with market capitalization rebounding to $2.13 trillion. In the derivatives market, Bitcoin futures open interest increased by 4.82%, surpassing $73 billion, indicating that institutions and high-net-worth investors are actively positioning themselves.

After this event, more and more people are starting to pay attention to Bitcoin investment. In fact, buying Bitcoin is simpler than you might think. Domestic users only need to register on exchanges like Upbit, Bithumb, or Coinone, complete real-name verification, and deposit Korean won to immediately purchase Bitcoin. If choosing overseas platforms like Binance or OKX, overseas remittance and KYC verification process are required, so it is advisable to understand the relevant processes in detail beforehand.

It is important to note that cryptocurrencies are high-risk assets and are easily affected by international political situations and global financial trends. Investors should avoid being swayed by short-term price fluctuations, formulate long-term strategies, and emphasize risk management to move forward steadily.
