The leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, has become the fifth largest asset in the world, surpassing Amazon with a valuation of $2.407 trillion. Institutional ETF inflows and regulatory developments in the U.S. are driving this rally. A historic turning point is occurring in the cryptocurrency markets.
The historical rise of Bitcoin began late on Sunday night and surpassed the $120,000 barrier for the first time. On Monday morning, Bitcoin was trading at $122,500, reaching a market value of $2.407 trillion. With this development, it rose to become the fifth largest asset in the world, surpassing Amazon, Silver, and Google. As institutional ETF inflows exceeded $16 billion, experts began discussing a target of $150,000 by the end of the year. The crypto regulations in the U.S. and the expectations of the Federal Reserve are behind this rally.
Bitcoin Market Value Reached $2.4 Trillion
Vincent Liu, the chief investment officer of Kronos Research, stated that this rally is not temporary but systemic. Liu said, "There is a strong convergence behind this rise. Institutional inflows through ETFs, the political momentum in Washington, and the macro liquidity that has finally turned positive."
According to SoSoValue data, the positive flow into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs has provided over $16 billion in inflows over several weeks. This indicates that institutional demand is continuously increasing.
The expectations for "Crypto Week" in the U.S. also support this rise. The legislature will discuss key crypto proposals such as the CLARITY Act and the GENIUS Act this week and is likely to approve them.
Vincent Liu mentioned that if these factors continue and the market sees clearer signs of the Fed's interest rate cuts, Bitcoin could see further increases. Eugene Cheung, the chief commercial officer of the OSL exchange, also noted that he sees the potential for Bitcoin to reach between $130,000 and $150,000 by the end of 2025.
Altcoins also benefited from Bitcoin's remarkable rise. Ethereum rose by 2.71%, surpassing $3,000, XRP added 4.82% and reached $2.91. Solana reached $165.9 with a 3.21% increase.
The GMCI 30 Index, which measures the performance of the top 30 cryptocurrencies, rose by 3.6% in the last day. This shows Bitcoin's positive impact on the overall market.
