Bitcoin Holds Steady at $46,300

LONDON (Dispatches) - The price of Bitcoin (BTC) has reached a 3-month high at $45,791 per token, a level previously seen on 17 May. BTC gained 2.38% in the past 24 hours, with the overall market capitalization of the digital token hitting $858 billion.
The return to the $45,000 price level comes as Bitcoin’s value continues to rebound after it sustained a major drop in May 2021. The cryptocurrency’s price tanked in light of a June decision by China to ban financial institutions from using cryptocurrencies in any operations, as well as banning crypto mining activities in the country. Prior to this crackdown, China was among the biggest cryptocurrency markets in the world and one of the main miners of BTC and other tokens.
The price of BTC reached a six-month low on 21 June at $29,608 per token, but has since started to rise again. Many popular cryptocurrencies also suffered a similar plunge in price after a May decision by China, but have since partially recovered from the drop.
