Bitcoin Surges Past $111,000, Setting New Record High

The cryptocurrency's rise is fueled by institutional demand, ETF inflows, and progress on U.S. stablecoin legislation.

Overview

  • Bitcoin reached an all-time high of over $111,650 during early Asian trading on May 22, surpassing its previous January peak.
  • The rally is supported by $3.6 billion in net inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs in May, reflecting strong institutional interest.
  • The U.S. Senate advanced a stablecoin regulation bill, signaling greater regulatory clarity and boosting investor confidence.
  • Corporate treasuries, including Michael Saylor’s Strategy and other firms, continue to accumulate Bitcoin, driving demand.
  • Macroeconomic factors, such as easing U.S.-China trade tensions and a weaker dollar, have positioned Bitcoin as a strategic asset.
