Bitcoin keeps pushing its way upwards due to multiple factors. Among them are the active Bitcoin purchases by large institutional investors such as Grayscale, which now holds over $20 billion in Bitcoin and other crypto, the long-term quantitative easing program with over $6 trillion issued last year, the SEC's suit against Ripple that alleges XRP to be a security and the Bitcoin halving of May 2020.
This time, Bitcoin surged during the Asian trading session.
