Bitcoin Breaks $125K Barrier on Perpetual Futures Surge, Volatility Remains High

Bitcoin is surging towards the $125,000 mark, fueled by explosive activity in perpetual futures markets and a recent surge of institutional investment. Open interest has climbed to $14.3 billion, indicating an influx of new positions and increased risk of forced liquidations during market fluctuations. The move comes as Bitcoin ETFs saw inflows exceeding $60 billion last week alone, further driving demand from institutions.
