Institutional Investors Drive Bitcoin Surge Amid Economic Uncertainty

The rise of Bitcoin prices, reaching a new all-time high above $4,500 in April 2025, is fueled by significant investment from institutional players. Driven by macroeconomic shifts and concerns about the future of the US dollar’s role as global reserve currency, these institutions are increasingly turning to Bitcoin as a hedge against economic volatility. John D’Agostino, Coinbase representative, highlighted a surge in investments by large institutions in April 2025, with this move linked to U.S. tariff policy and rising inflation concerns.
