币界网报道：Bitcoin surged over 30% in Q2 2023, marking its strongest quarterly performance since early 2021, as institutional interest grew despite regulatory pressures. Analysts attribute the rally to factors including BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF filing and macroeconomic optimism, rather than Elon Musk's influence which appears diminished compared to previous cycles. While Tesla's Bitcoin holdings remained unchanged, MicroStrategy added $347 million worth of BTC during the quarter. The rally occurred alongside increased regulatory scrutiny, with the SEC suing Binance and Coinbase, suggesting institutional players may be driving price action more than retail investors or celebrity endorsements in the current market cycle.
