The milestone came mere hours after the asset reached an all-time high of $20,000, bumped immediately afterward to $21,000, and then marched on to $22,000.

A flash crash at the time led to sentiment turning negative for the world’s largest cryptocurrency, but it has since led its recovery to price levels unlike anything seen before. Most in the crypto world are now calling for a $30,000 Bitcoin in the short-term, and a rally to as high as $250,000 by the end of 2021. For now, however, the asset is primed for attracting new money into the space, with individuals like Antoni Trenchev, the cofounder of Nexo, stating the newfound prices would lead to new media narratives and, in turn, more retail participants.
