Why Is Bitcoin Going Up?

This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io, Arculus and FTX US.

Today on “The Breakdown,” NLW looks at the last two days of bullish momentum and sentiment. Is it being driven by geopolitics and a broad recognition around the Russia-Ukraine war of bitcoin’s importance in a volatile world? Is it the market reacting to Do Kwon and Terra’s multibillion-dollar bid to build an asset reserve for the UST stablecoin? Or is it, like always, some combination of narrative and market structure?
