Bitcoin Tops $118,000 on ETF Inflows and Pro-Crypto U.S. Policies

Robust ETF inflows backed by clearer regulation have bolstered institutional confidence in bitcoin's upside potential.

Overview

  • Bitcoin set a new all-time high above $118,000 on July 11, extending gains achieved earlier this week when it broke past $113,000 and $116,000.
  • Spot bitcoin ETFs have seen record net inflows exceeding $50 billion this year, making them a key force behind the price surge.
  • Corporate treasuries have accelerated bitcoin purchases as publicly traded companies integrate the token into their reserve strategies.
  • President Trump’s March executive order to create a U.S. strategic cryptocurrency reserve has provided regulatory clarity that underpins institutional demand.
  • Analysts have lifted year-end price forecasts toward $140,000 and major altcoins like ethereum, solana and dogecoin have rallied alongside bitcoin.
