The heady days of daily headlines on Decrypt announcing new consecutive ATHs for Bitcoin have cooled off in what could be the petering out of a now-historic bull run. Today the currency suffered a further fall of 5%, taking it to a price of $35,000.
Observers predicted a correction was overdue at some point along the run. Valued at $10,500 at the start of October, Bitcoin rose consistently through the end of the year, with notable growth spurts around Christmas and New Year’s, bringing it to a dizzying ATH of $42,000 on January 8.
The general consensus is that Bitcoin’s market performance was bolstered by a wave of serious institutional interest from various companies. Anthony Scaramucci’s SkyBridge recently launched its own Bitcoin fund; Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy also invested over a billion dollars in the currency—perhaps prompting Morgan Stanley to buy a ten percent stake in the company to capitalize on the growing interest in BTC.
Their faith in the coin remains, though, with Scaramucci taking to Twitter to declare that “a 25% pullback is no surprise. Expect many surges and pullbacks ahead.” On the same platform, Saylor stands by his expensive choice every day, summarising his attitude to Bitcoin in a retweeted meme.

Meanwhile, according to a report by Coindesk, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan both sent out RFIs (requests for information),— essentially feelers for exploring ‘digital asset’ (crypto) custody.
According to Assetdash, Bitcoin is now the tenth biggest asset by market capitalization, having blazed clear of crypto critic Warren Buffet’s company Berkshire Hathaway, now two places behind, and leaving giants like Visa, JPMorgan, and MasterCard trailing at fourteenth, fifteenth, and twenty-first respectively.
The graphs may be falling but Bitcoin’s future remains a topic of heated speculation.

Texas sheriffs used power tools this week in retrieving $32,000 from a Bitcoin ATM after a Jasper County family said they were scammed out of funds, according to local law enforcement. The family said it had lost $25,000 to the fraudsters. An image shared by the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office on Facebook shows sparks flying as an official uses what appears to be a circular saw to crack into a Bitcoin Depot kiosk. Other images show stacks of hundred dollar bills, evidence bags, and a gas station...
The price of Bitcoin was little changed on Friday as U.S. Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller argued that the U.S. central bank could start lowering interest rates as early as July. Bitcoin was recently changing hands at $104,300, flat over the past day and down 0.6% since Israel and Iran began exchanging missile attacks a week ago, according to crypto data provider CoinGecko. Ethereum was flat over the past 24 hours to trade just around $2,500, while Solana ticked up slightly. With infl...
USDC issuer Circle was buoyant in pre-market trading Friday, climbing above $236 ahead of the opening bell. That put it ahead of the $235 price target set by Wall Street research firm Seaport Global, which initiated coverage of the company today with a buy rating. But once the bell rang, the company's stock, which trades on the NYSE under the CRCL ticker, settled and is currently changing hands around $228, or 14% higher than its previous close. Seaport announced that it was initiating coverage...
