Fifteen years ago, 15 BTC were sold for just 1 cent, a fact shared by Bitcoin historian Pete Rizzo. Bitcoin was in its infancy at the time, with no exchanges available, and its highest price in 2010 was $0.39. Today, Bitcoin has become a global financial asset with a market capitalization of $1.944 trillion and is trading at $98,201. Bitcoin held steady above $98,000 ahead of the release of U.S. inflation statistics, which may impact interest-rate decisions and crypto markets. Last week, digital asset investment products saw the highest weekly inflows on record, with Bitcoin receiving $2.5 billion in inflows.
