Bitcoin has experienced an impressive surge recently, leaving many investors wondering if there is a fundamental reason behind it. Altcoin Daily has shed light on the matter, attributing Bitcoin’s rally to banks receiving government bailouts, especially in the wake of the Circle incident.
Banks in America and around the world are experiencing a crisis, but this has not stopped the US government from bailing them out. Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), which had $3 billion in Circle’s funds, was in danger of experiencing a deep pegging event. But when the government announced that it would backstop all depositor funds, markets rallied, and Bitcoin followed suit.
Credit Suisse, a Swiss bank, also secured a $54 billion lifeline from the Central Bank of Switzerland, which is good news for Bitcoin for two reasons. Firstly, it keeps the market’s level, and secondly, it exposes the inherent flaws in the central banking system.
