Op 29 januari tweette de Amerikaanse ondernemer Elon Musk een bericht met de tekst "het was onvermijdelijk" over bitcoin, wat wereldwijd de aandacht op de cryptocurrency vestigde. Als gevolg van de publicatie van de tweet steeg de prijs van de eerste cryptocurrency van $32.000 naar $37.000 in enkele minuten, en de cryptocurrency-beurs Binance zag een recordinstroom van nieuwe gebruikers. Als gevolg hiervan schortte de site de opnames tijdelijk op. Elon Musks bericht was niet de enige oorzaak van de stijging van de Bitcoin - 29 januari was ook de afloop van een $3,2 miljard Bitcoin-optie. "Direct na de afloop steeg bitcoin met $5.000. De oorzaak was ofwel de afloopdatum zelf of Musks tweet," zei Luuk Strijers, operationeel directeur van cryptocurrency-derivatenbeurs Deribit. Volgens cryptocurrency-makelaar FalconX waren het de particuliere investeerders die de prijs van bitcoin deden stijgen. Zo daalde het handelsvolume in hedgefondsen tijdens de prijsstijging met 45%, maar particuliere investeerders verhoogden de handel direct met 1100%. "Ik denk dat er een verband is met de Wall Street Bets-community op het Reddit-forum. Bovendien werden de handelsvolumes door gebruikers uit de Verenigde Staten gemaakt," - zei Aya Kantorovich, hoofd van institutionele beleggers bij FalconX. We herinneren eraan dat deze week gebruikers van het Reddit-forum de prijs van GameStop-netwerkaandelen "braken", waardoor institutionele investeerders verliezen leden. De interesse in de cryptocurrency-industrie is ook toegenomen.

De tweet van Elon Musk zorgde voor een toestroom van particuliere beleggers.

On January 29, American entrepreneur Elon Musk tweeted a message with the text &quot;it was inevitable&quot; regarding bitcoin, which drew worldwide attention to the cryptocurrency. 
As a result of the publication of the tweet, the price of the first cryptocurrency jumped from $32,000 to $37,000 in a few minutes, and the cryptocurrency exchange Binance saw a record influx of new users. Because of this, the site suspended withdrawals for a short time.

Elon Musk&#39;s message wasn&#39;t the only catalyst for Bitcoin&#39;s rise - January 29 also saw the expiration of a $3.2 billion Bitcoin option.

&quot;Immediately after the expiration, bitcoin rose by $5,000. The cause was either the expiration date itself or Musk&#39;s tweet,&quot; said Luuk Strijers, chief operating officer of cryptocurrency derivatives exchange Deribit.

According to cryptocurrency broker FalconX, it was retail investors who caused bitcoin&#39;s price to rise. Thus, during the rise in the price, bitcoin trading volume from hedge funds fell by 45%, but retail investors immediately increased trading by 1100%.

&quot;I think there is a correlation with the Wall Street Bets community on the Reddit forum. Moreover, trading volumes were made by users from the United States, &quot;- said Aya Kantorovich, Head of Institutional Investors at FalconX.

We recall that this week users of the Reddit forum &quot; broke &quot; the price of GameStop network shares, so that institutional investors suffered losses. Interest in the cryptocurrency industry has also increased.
