The top digital asset in the world went up to $43,713.46 on the first day of March, signaling the demand for digital assets after crypto donations surged to support Ukraine.
With Bitcoin seeing its lowest at the end of January in 2022, it managed to swiftly climb back up in early February. However, after the conflict started escalating in Eastern Europe, people began selling crypto for the fear of it losing even more value because of the war. The price of BTC plunged, reaching $34,904.06 on February 24th.
The good news is, the price started sharply going up on February 28th. This is presumably due to the influx of crypto fundraising campaigns that look to support Ukraine. According to CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin’s price reached just over $43.7K on March 1st. Interestingly enough, based on a report by Bloomberg, BTC even managed to go over $44K, but no purchases were made at that price.
