In May 2025, Bitcoin surged to new all-time highs, exceeding $112,509. This significant rise can be attributed to several factors: robust regulatory support from the U.S., and increased institutional investment in Bitcoin. Notably, a bill promoting stablecoin regulation is expected to progress in the Senate on May 19, 2025, signifying further political backing for Bitcoin. The recent surge has also seen over $6.5 billion flow into BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust within the past month alone, demonstrating substantial interest from traditional finance. Additionally, 59 Bitcoin spot ETFs have accumulated assets exceeding $94.17 billion, highlighting a growing trend of institutional adoption in the cryptocurrency market. These factors have bolstered confidence amongst investors, impacting the overall crypto market cap to approach $4 trillion. Bitcoin’s historic trend suggests continued growth driven by expanded market accessibility through ETFs.
