  As a representative from BYDFi, I can provide some insights into the recent increase in the price of Bitcoin. One of the main reasons is the growing interest from institutional investors. Many traditional financial institutions, such as hedge funds and asset managers, have started to allocate a portion of their portfolios to Bitcoin. This institutional demand has significantly increased the price. Additionally, the ongoing development and improvement of the Bitcoin network, such as the Lightning Network, has increased the scalability and usability of Bitcoin, making it more attractive to investors. Another factor is the increasing acceptance of Bitcoin as a legitimate form of payment. More merchants and businesses are now accepting Bitcoin, which has further increased its demand and value. Overall, the recent increase in the price of Bitcoin can be attributed to a combination of institutional interest, network development, and wider acceptance as a payment method.
