Bitcoin (BTC) is the original cryptocurrency, launched in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates as a decentralised, censorship-resistant store of value on a proof-of-work blockchain with a hard supply cap of 21 million coins. The BTC/USD pair is the world’s most liquid crypto instrument, with daily trading volume reaching hundreds of billions of dollars. Bitcoin price is shaped by macroeconomic conditions, institutional adoption, Federal Reserve policy, and halving events – the most recent took place in April 2024, reducing the block reward to 3.125 BTC. Spot Bitcoin ETFs approved in the US in January 2024 opened Bitcoin to a new wave of institutional capital. Trading the BTC/USD CFD provides both long and short exposure to the global benchmark of cryptocurrency markets.
