Bitcoin’s October Rally

Bitcoin rose about 6% to as high as $72,338 on Tuesday, marking its highest price since April 8. This moves bitcoin’s October gain to 12%, outperforming the S&P 500’s 1% advance this month. Other major digital assets like Ethereum, Binance Coin, and Solana also rallied on Tuesday. Stocks of bitcoin mining companies like Core Scientific, Marathon Digital, and Riot Platforms gained as well, up at least 15% each in October.

Factors Behind the Price Increase

The bitcoin rally stems from several factors. Investors see bitcoin as an inflation hedge, as government policies are projected to add trillions in debt. With the Fed cutting rates in September, some believe monetary policy may spur inflation. Gold prices have also climbed, up 6% since the rate cut. Bitcoin’s rise coincides with climbing odds for a Trump victory, as he now backs bitcoin. Continued inflows into bitcoin ETFs from institutional investors also add upward pressure.

Bitcoin’s Market Dominance

Bitcoin remains the most valuable crypto asset, with a market value over 4 times higher than Ethereum. Bitcoin hit an all-time high of $73,750 in March and has surged over 300% since late 2022, when a string of crypto bankruptcies shook confidence.

Conclusion
