Why Bitcoin is up 1.5% today
Analysis
Bitcoin rose about 1.5% over the past 24 hours as market participants digested signs of continued institutional/structured demand, including Ledn’s $188M sale of bitcoin-backed bonds that highlighted ongoing credit-market interest tied to BTC (Bitcoin Magazine). Sentiment may also have been supported by The Block’s report on a UAE-linked mining operation sitting on sizable unrealized profits, reinforcing the narrative of strong profitability among large BTC holders/miners (The Block), even as some analysts warned of weaker on-chain activity (AMBCrypto).
