He added: “The fact that Bitcoin hits new record highs also helps. There has of course also helps. There has been a strong relationship between streams and price, and I expect that that will continue.”
Bitcoin’s price Has more than 48% risen since he fell below $ 75,000 at the beginning of April, with a lot of that win when US President Donald Trump retired his trade war and the last inflation reports were Tamer than expected.
