Bitcoin (BTC) crossed above $74,000 in a Binance spot snapshot early Wednesday, with readings 15 minutes apart showing the quote below and then above the round-number threshold.
Binance’s later spot snapshot, recorded at 3:02 a.m. ET (08:02 UTC), was $74,030. The exchange’s prior reading, 15 minutes before, stood at $73,908. The earlier quote was below $74,000; the later one cleared the mark by $30.
Bitcoin’s one-hour change ending with the $74,030 snapshot was 0.62%. That rate covers the hour leading up to the later observation, not the 15-minute interval separating the two quoted prices. The two comparisons therefore cover different periods.
The figures are spot-market observations from Binance, each tied to a specific time. They show the price on that venue, rather than a market-wide benchmark.
EconoTimes previously reported a separate Tuesday Binance drop below $74,000 after a $499 fall over 15 minutes. Wednesday’s observations put the quote on the other side of that threshold.
