What is notable about this is that these tens of billions of US dollars’ influx into BTC and ETH took place within a single day.
A similar funds inflow into these coins was noticed three years ago, Ali stated, and it was followed by Bitcoin soaring to an all-time high.
This record surge has not been beaten yet, but Ali seems to be hinting that this may happen in the near future, if history repeats itself.
An announcement soon followed that Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) was to start accepting Bitcoin payments for its electric automobiles. On Feb. 18, the Bitcoin price skyrocketed slightly above $52,000 and then on April 15, it smashed the astounding $65,000 level.
However, a negative event for Bitcoin also happened in April – Elon Musk reversed Tesla’s position and Bitcoin was no longer accepted as Musk raised controversial environmental concerns over Bitcoin’s proof-of-work mining algorithm. However, Tesla continued to hold the BTC on its balance sheet.
By now, according to recent data, Tesla has sold all of its Bitcoin . This Bitcoin chunk is evaluated at $417,230,028 at the time of this writing.
The flagship cryptocurrency is after staging a 5.16% increase from $40,865 overnight.
