The Bitcoin Bull Run is much more than just a rise in bitcoin prices: it's a phase of rapid and sustained growth that can last for weeks or even months. The craze attracts investors ready to capitalise on every moment of this trend.

Increased uptake

Institutions, and even some governments, can no longer ignore Bitcoin. It is gradually becoming a key player.

A favourable economic environment

Falling interest rates, rising inflation, uncertainty... Bitcoin is emerging as an attractive alternative in this environment.

The FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) effect

As attention increases, the desire not to be left behind boosts demand, making it even more attractive.

About the Bitcoin Bull Run

What is a Bitcoin Bull Run?

The Bitcoin Bull Run refers to a phase of marked growth in Bitcoin, often triggered by structural events such as Bitcoin Halving, which halves the issuance of new units. This mechanism, written into Bitcoin's source code, occurs every 210,000 blocks (i.e. approximately every four years), reducing the reward for miners and inflation. Historically, the most prominent bull runs followed the halvings of 2012, 2016 and 2020.
