Bitcoin is the first decentralized cryptocoin ever built on top of a blockchain. It was created by an anonymous person or group of people with the nickname Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009 as an open source project.
To understand the Bitcoin blockchain we can imagine a book, where each page number contains a signature that can validate the content of that page and its previous one. This signature is computed by an algorithm known as SHA-256 and cannot be reversed. In other words we can calculate theShow more [+] A-256 signature from some content, but we can’t get content if we know its SHA-256 signature. Back to the example with the book: if we tear out a page from the book, we can easily understand that a page is missing. The same is with adding an inexistent page. All the pages are copied between members of the chain, and this is why the Bitcoin Blockchain is considered a distributed network.
Bitcoin is an open source project maintained by a developer team with over 580 active contributors. The code of the chain is available on Github. The main purpose of Bitcoin was decentralized but trusted, low fee money transactions between people and businesses around the world. Nowadays over 100.000 vendors accept Bitcoin for payments. And there are between 2.9 and 5.8 million unique users who actively use Bitcoin cryptocurrency wallets. The price of Bitcoin can be very volatile due to speculation and has changed in the past more than +/-20% during a single.

Bitcoin and crypto ETPs continue their impressive performance just a week into the new year.

Bitcoin saw $38 billion in inflows, representing nearly 30% of all Assets in Management (AUM), while Ethereum picked up pace in the latter half of the year, with net inflows of more than $4.8 billion. Bitcoin ETPs Lead The Pack CoinShare’s James Butterfill shared these findings on the performance of crypto ETPs on the company’s official site and social media pages. The report explained that Bitcoin ETPs were the preferred digital investment product, cornering $38 billion of all Bitcoin AUMs of global ETPs. 2024 saw US$44bn inflows in to crypto ETPs, 2025 off to a good start with US$585m inflows so farhttps://t.co/OczGDBUdph — James Butterfill (@jbutterfill) January 6, 2025 Ethereum ETPs ranked second, receiving roughly $4.8 billion in inflows in 2024, representing 26% of all ETH AUMs of global ETPs. The ETP’s inflows this past year are 2.4 times bigger than what was recorded in 2021 and 60 times bigger than in 2023. Ethereum beats Solana regarding inflows in 2024, with just $69 million, representing only 4% of all assets under management. While Solana’s numbers are small relative to Bitcoin and Ethereum, it still leads all other altcoins. Approval Of Spot ETFs Helps Increase Inflows The industry saw record-breaking inflows in 2024, which is better than what the bull market experienced in 2021. In 2021, cryptocurrency investment products recorded more than $10 billion in net inflows. In short, last year’s inflows were 4x bigger than the recorded amount in 2021. According to Bufferfill, the surge in global crypto investment products benefited from the US’ approval of spot ETFs for Bitcoin in January 2024. In January 2024, the US Securities and Exchange Commission approved 11 applications for spot Bitcoin ETFs, which were followed by eight spot ETFs for Ether on May 22nd. According to recent data, these spot Bitcoin ETFs are the main reasons for the inflows in Bitcoin-related investments. Butterfill also explained that these ETFs will redefine the inflows for crypto investments in the future. Related Reading: Dogecoin To Hit $1?

Thorne added that Bitcoin will continue to become one of the top-performing assets on its risk-adjusted basis. Other analysts shared that Ether’s spot ETPs will also surge this year.
