BTC Hits All-Time High as BTC ETFs Drive Rally
Bitcoin surged to a new all-time high above $120,000 on Monday, propelled by strong inflows into ETFs and growing institutional interest. According to Coin Metrics, the world’s largest cryptocurrency briefly touched $121,249.90, continuing its upward momentum as demand for Bitcoin-related investment products grows.
The latest rally comes after BTC ETFs recorded their biggest single-day inflow in 2025, with $1.18 billion pouring into these funds on Thursday. Analysts suggest that institutional investors are increasingly viewing Bitcoin as a long-term store of value, driving prices to unprecedented levels.
Institutional Investors Push BTC Toward $125,000
Jeff Mei, Chief Operating Officer at cryptocurrency exchange BTSE, told CNBC that BTC’s surge is being fueled by long-term institutional buyers.
*“We believe that it surge is driven by longer-term institutional buyers, and this will propel it to $125,000 in the next month or two,”* Mei said.
He also noted that while geopolitical tensions, such as former President Donald Trump’s trade disputes with the EU and Mexico, could cause short-term volatility, institutional investors remain confident in BTC’s long-term growth.
“BTC ’s institutional buyers are likely discounting this risk and maintaining their positions, expecting further appreciation,” Mei added.
U.S. Crypto Legislation Progress Boosts Market Sentiment
Investors have been eagerly awaiting new crypto regulations from the U.S. government, which could provide greater clarity for the digital asset industry. The U.S. House of Representatives is set to begin deliberations on a series of crypto-related bills on Monday, aiming to establish a clearer regulatory framework for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
The proposed legislation has been long-awaited by the industry and is backed by former President Donald Trump, who has positioned himself as a pro-crypto leader. Trump, who has personal investments in several crypto ventures, has been vocal about his support for BTC and blockchain innovation.
Corporate Treasuries and BTC Adoption on the Rise
Another key factor driving BTC’s rally is the increasing adoption by corporate treasuries. Major companies have been accelerating their Bitcoin purchases, viewing it as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty.
With BTC ETFs making it easier for institutions to gain exposure, analysts predict that the cryptocurrency could see further price appreciation in the coming months. Some even suggest that $150,000 could be the next major milestone if institutional inflows continue at the current pace.
What’s Next for Bitcoin?
As Bitcoin continues its record-breaking rally, market watchers are closely monitoring:
- ETF inflows – Will demand for BTC ETFs sustain the upward momentum?
- Regulatory developments – Will U.S. crypto legislation pass, further legitimizing Bitcoin?
- Macroeconomic factors – How will trade tensions and inflation impact BTC’s price?
For now, the trend remains bullish, with institutional and retail investors alike betting on BTC’s long-term potential. If the current momentum holds, $125,000 could be just the beginning of another major rally.
