On April 1, 2013, Bitcoin traded above $100 for the first time, a major milestone in its early market journey. Just four years earlier, Bitcoin had little to no monetary value.

Growing exchange activity and media attention fueled momentum, signaling Bitcoin’s transition from a niche experiment to an emerging financial asset.
