Why Bitcoin is up 1.0% in the last hour
Analysis
Bitcoin rose about 1% over the past hour as traders reacted to reports that Binance added significant BTC to its SAFU reserve during a dip, a move that can be read as supportive near-term demand and confidence. Cointelegraph reported a ~$300M SAFU reserve addition, while U.Today cited a larger ~$734M figure, both of which likely helped lift sentiment despite broader headlines that Bitcoin funds saw net outflows last week.
