The bitcoin price has crossed $50k for the first time since May 2021, and stands at $50,228 at time of writing.
At the same time, the bitcoin market cap is now above $942 billion.
Bitcoin hit an all-time high in April 2021, going over $64,000 but sold off heavily in June and July 2021, even dipping below $30,000 at one point.
One of the reasons was renewed regulatory scrutiny from Chinese authorities forcing bitcoin mining operations to shut down.
Since mid-July 2021 however, the market turned bullish and bitcoin has been on a steady rise.
