Bitcoin recently hit a new all-time high of $124,000 on August 14th, 2025, amidst speculation surrounding potential interest rate cuts. Former President Donald Trump’s calls for a reduction in interest rates to 1%, aiming for a Federal Reserve rate cut of 50-175 basis points, have contributed significantly to this surge. This has spurred anticipation of increased liquidity entering the crypto markets, potentially impacting asset volatility across the board. },
Trump’s proposal is being closely watched by key figures like U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor. The potential shift in market sentiment, driven by Trump’s calls for rate cuts, has led to increased institutional investment and a corresponding increase in active trading by whales.
