What moves the price

The bitcoin price (BTC/USD) shows how many dollars one bitcoin costs. Each bitcoin is divided into 100 million satoshis, so you can buy a fraction, however small. The crypto market trades 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

The price depends on supply and demand on exchanges: spot bitcoin ETF flows, global liquidity and interest rates, regulatory news, adoption by companies and institutions, and the halving, which roughly every four years cuts the issuance of new bitcoins in half.

It is a highly volatile asset: moves of 5% to 10% in a day are common. Each exchange has its own price, although arbitrage keeps the differences small.

FAQ

Is the bitcoin price the same on every exchange?

Not exactly. Each platform has its own order book, but arbitrage keeps prices very close. Differences are usually small, except at times of high volatility.

What is the bitcoin halving?

It is the halving of the reward miners receive for each block. It happens every 210,000 blocks, roughly every four years, and slows the issuance of new bitcoins towards the 21 million cap.

Why is bitcoin so volatile?

Because it has no cash flows to anchor its value, much of the demand is speculative, it is traded with high leverage and it trades non-stop every day, so news is priced in instantly.

Why might this price differ from my broker's?

We show indicative market prices, updated live, for information purposes. Each broker or bureau de change applies its own spread, commissions and liquidity sources, so its trading quote may vary slightly. Before buying, selling or exchanging currencies, always check your provider's price.
