Bitcoin breaks past $65,000 once again

Leading cryptocurrency bitcoin broke back above the psychologically important $65,000 level at the start of the trading week, continuing a trend seen in recent weeks amid heightened institutional interest in digital assets. Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, is also moving in step with bitcoin, though altcoin price action has traditionally been more volatile. Analysts attribute the current rally to a combination of factors: inflows into crypto exchange-traded funds, expectations of monetary policy easing, and a broader recovery in risk appetite across equity markets. For private investors in Kazakhstan considering cryptocurrencies as part of a diversified portfolio, it remains important to factor in the asset class's persistently high volatility.
