Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency based on market capitalization, has climbed by 5% in the last 24 hours.

Bitcoin slightly climbed to $32,000 as the market continues to recover from the crash of LUNA, Terra’s native coin and UST, Terra’s stablecoin.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin currently trades at $31, 581 per coin, up by roughly $700 in the last 24 hours. This marks three weeks since Bitcoin was over $32,000.
