Bitcoin Sets New Record High, Fueled by Institutional Investors

Bitcoin hit a new all-time high of $125,689 in early October 2025, driven by significant institutional investment activity and the surge in spot Bitcoin ETF demand. This landmark event signals a shift from retail-driven market cycles to a more mature financial approach towards digital assets. Analysts suggest this is due to several factors including increased bank and asset manager holdings, which ultimately propelled crypto stocks to unprecedented highs.
