The Bitcoin price has increased over the past week as a result of the escalating banking crisis in the United States and the federal government’s efforts to mitigate its effects. Bitcoin (BTC) was able to breach the $24,000 barrier on Tuesday, indicating a degree of stability in the cryptocurrency market. After falling to its lowest point since January, the value of the alpha cryptocurrency increased by 10% during the past 24 hours, according to data from crypto market tracker Coingecko. Following the failure of three banks, the Federal Reserve has launched an emergency lending strategy to assuage public concern. Silvergate Bank, which was heavily engaged in the cryptocurrency industry, shuttered its cryptocurrency payment platform on March 3 and announced liquidation last Wednesday. Bitcoin Price Trading At $24,425 Silicon Valley Bank announced on Monday that it will be unable to meet its financial commitments. After a few days, federal regulators closed Signature Bank. In the midst of this, Bitcoin soared by 9% in a single week. At the time of writing, the price of Bitcoin was trading at $24,425, latest data shows.

Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has increased around 25% since last Friday. Given the downfall of SVB and Signature bank, both of which were perceived as crypto-friendly organizations, the rally is quite unexpected. How USDC Fared The broader market also witnessed the weakening of USDC over the weekend, with the cryptocurrency losing its anchor against the US dollar and falling below the 0.92 level on Saturday as news of the banks’ woes spread to the cryptocurrency market, before recovering its peg on Monday. Meanwhile, data from Nansen shows the quantity of USDC on exchanges has surged in recent days. The total supply on exchanges is 8% higher than it was a week ago. Incidentally, the biggest USDC deposit in the previous day was 18.3 million, a 41% rise from the previous record of 13 million. According to Oanda’s senior market analyst Edward Moya: “Bitcoin is increasing in value as financial stability concerns cause Treasury yields to plummet. In an effort to prevent another huge bank run, federal officials intervened as skepticism about traditional banking rose among some Americans.” BTCUSD breaches $24K level and currently trading at $24,389 million on the daily chart | Chart: TradingView.com Related Reading: Conflux Blasts Off Nearly 40% In Single Day – Will CFX Soar Higher Amid Banking Crisis?
