Bitcoin (BTC) has rocketed past $111,000, marking a fresh record and reflecting a powerful combination of factors driving investor confidence.
According to Finance Magnates, institutional investors have poured more than $4.2 billion into U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs in May alone. This surge highlights a growing appetite for Bitcoin as a serious asset class in mainstream finance.
MarketWatch notes that regulatory signals are also lifting sentiment. The U.S. Senate is moving forward on a bill to regulate stablecoins, while President Trump’s push for a federal Bitcoin reserve underscores Bitcoin’s growing legitimacy.
Meanwhile, Barron’s says macro forces—like improved U.S.-China trade relations and a weakening dollar—are bolstering Bitcoin’s role as a safe-haven alternative.
