How Bitcoin can expect more upside in coming months: Analyst

Bitcoin (BTC-USD) surged past $57,000 on Tuesday, reaching the price threshold for the first time in over two years. Oppenheimer Executive Director Owen Lau joined Yahoo Finance Live to discuss Bitcoin's rally. Lau cited MicroStrategy's (MSTR) $155 million Bitcoin purchase as "part of the reason why" Bitcoin saw such a big jump during Tuesday's trading. Going forward, he expects continued "catalysts" from strong demand for spot Bitcoin ETFs. He notes new institutional money is flowing into Bitcoin, but financial advisors are also doing their "due diligence" to guide investors into crypto. This could mean even "more money" entering Bitcoin in the coming months. Lau says Bitcoin's growth can benefit from various macro factors such as lower rates and rising tech stocks. To him, Bitcoin is "a little bit of everything" right now. For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Yahoo Finance Live.
