The influx of investment briefly pushed BTC to a record high of $73,798 in mid-March. Although the coin’s price has since fallen by approximately 6%, smaller digital assets have experienced a sharper decline of over 30%, influenced by diminishing prospects of a looser U.S. monetary policy that typically encourages speculative investments. While past halvings have spurred price increases, the impact of the upcoming event remains uncertain, given the coin’s recent peak performance.
