<a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/bitcoin-price-analysis-uncertainty-continues-for-crypto-giants/" data-wpel-link="internal">Bitcoin</a>‘s rise to $50,000 on February 12th underscores a significant change in the crypto world due to increasing institutional demand, potential changes in interest rates, and the impending scarcity from the upcoming block reward halving. This notable milestone contrasts starkly with the turbulent period just two years ago, highlighting the evolving dynamics in the cryptocurrency market. 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="strong-last-reached-in-december-2021-strong">Last Reached in December 2021</h2> 
According to data, Bitcoin last reached the $50,000 level in December 2021, a time marked by 11 consecutive interest rate hikes in the US, the collapse of several leading crypto companies, and a significant withdrawal of individual investors from the crypto market, leading to a prolonged bear market with sharp price declines. 
Industry experts like eToro market analyst Josh Gilbert emphasize that current macroeconomic conditions are becoming increasingly favorable for risky assets like Bitcoin. Gilbert highlights several key factors fueling this optimism, including anticipated interest rate cuts by the Fed in 2024, the fourth Bitcoin block reward halving planned for April, and the significant inflows seen shortly after the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs. 
The upcoming block reward halving, which will result in a 50% reduction in block rewards for Bitcoin miners, is widely regarded as a bullish catalyst for BTC’s long-term price trajectory. Additionally, the strong performance of spot Bitcoin ETFs signals increasing institutional participation in the crypto market, further bolstering market confidence.

CoinShares‘ latest data indicates significant capital inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs. This past week alone saw an influx of $1.1 billion, marking the most substantial seven-day entry period since the ETFs’ inception in January.

Google Trends data shows a decline in individual interest, with the search term “Bitcoin” dropping to 19 points at the time of writing, down from 39 points in December 2021. While individual interest in Bitcoin appears to be waning, crypto analyst Will Clemente suggests this could mean a more sustainable foundation for overall market growth. 
Looking ahead, figures like CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju continue to expect a significant rise, predicting that Bitcoin could reach $112,000 by 2024, thanks to the performance of spot Bitcoin ETFs and other positive market dynamics.
