Why Bitcoin is up 2.4% today
Analysis
Bitcoin rose 2.4% over the past 24 hours as it bounced above $76,000 amid risk-off flows out of DeFi following the KelpDAO hack, which reportedly triggered a $14 billion exodus—potentially rotating capital toward BTC as a relative safe haven in crypto markets. Additional support came from continued institutional/enterprise interest narratives, including coverage of major public companies holding sizable Bitcoin portfolios (Decrypt) and news that Alcoa is nearing a sale of an idle New York smelter to NYDIG for potential Bitcoin mining use (Bitcoin Magazine).
