Despite the recent major decline in value over the weekend, Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, has seen an eightfold increase since its previous halving in 2020, according to Pompliano’s statement to the anchor.

In the past, a Bitcoin investment was around $8,000. Currently, it’s priced above $62,000 on the market, having reached nearly $71,000 just last Friday. Pomp acknowledged that Bitcoin experienced a decline, but he emphasized that this trend extended to gold and other financial markets due to significant geopolitical issues in the Middle East. Investors panicked and sought U.S. dollars as a safe haven, leading them to sell not only Bitcoin but also gold, stocks, and bonds.
