<p>Earlier, the price of BTC surpassed $71,700 for the first time since March.</p>
<p>Bitcoin’s upward moves began during the past week, on May 15, following the<a href="https://crypto.ro/en/news/bitcoin-above-63k-following-todays-cpi-report/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> latest CPI report</a> which showed an eased inflation of 3.4% for April, in line with economists’ expectations.</p>
<h2 id="programmability-a-potential-catalyst-for-btc">Programmability, a potential catalyst for BTC</h2>
<p>Potential new catalysts that could propel the price of BTC even higher have been recently touted, with Bloomberg reporting that Bitcoin developers suggest that a potential strong trigger for BTC’s price could be the network programmability.</p>
<p>BTC devs mentioned the success of Bitcoin ETFs approved at the beginning of 2024, and the halving event that took place on April 20 for Bitcoin as the main catalysts so far for BTC’s price. They believe that adding programmability and software updates to the network could take BTC to new heights.</p>
<p>Bloomberg mentioned <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/news/bitcoin-devs-network-programmability-is-the-next-btc-rally-trigger/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">new approaches</a> from Arch startup and Layer 1 Foundation.</p>
<p>Arch runs an application platform on top of Bitcoin, using software that will potentially allow apps from Solana to be ported onto Bitcoin.</p>
<p>Layer 1 Foundation is currently building a programmable module for the BRC-20 metaprotocol, which implies messages stored in code layered on the Bitcoin blockchain.</p>
