Bitcoin Breaks New Record at $126,000, but Searches Remain Quiet

Bitcoin has hit a record high of $126,000, breaking through previous milestones. While the price surge is significant, Google search interest for Bitcoin has declined by 50% compared to its 2021 bull run. This suggests a shift in market drivers, with institutional investment now playing a more prominent role rather than retail hype. Unlike 2021’s frenzy fueled by meme culture and media attention, this rally is quieter with big money driving the price up. This indicates a professional rise, not just a sudden market spike.
