Why Bitcoin is up 2.8% in the last hour
Analysis
Bitcoin rose 2.8% over the past hour as traders likely reacted to a constructive regulatory headline: *Bitcoin Magazine* reported Michigan introduced a bill that would allow state employees to be paid in Bitcoin, signaling incremental institutional and government-level openness to BTC. While *Decrypt* noted Bitcoin Depot will require ID for every ATM transaction amid growing regulatory pressure, that appears more targeted at compliance and may not have outweighed the positive sentiment from the Michigan proposal in the near term.
