It took the market-leading cryptocurrency a total of 846 days to retrace its steps.

Bitcoin has appreciated approximately 346% since bottoming out above $15,000 in the latter quarter of 2022. This year alone, it has increased by roughly 70%.

Events that impacted the wider cryptocurrency bear market included the collapse of the Terra Luna ecosystem and the subsequent bankruptcy of crypto exchange FTX — both of which hamstrung the larger industry as it took stock of the related contagion. 

For many, the approval of spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the United States ultimately spurred on the new crypto bull market, with inflows — in some ways — surpassing even bullish expectations.

Daily exchange volume has surged alongside Bitcoin ETF inflows, largely trending upward since late last year.
