Bitcoin made history on July 14, 2025, crossing $120,000, reaching highs near $122,571, driven by continued ETF inflows and evolving policy support.
U.S.-listed Bitcoin ETFs attracted a substantial $1.18 billion in inflows on Thursday, underscoring growing investor enthusiasm. This surge aligned with historic investment volumes in Hong Kong’s Bitcoin and Ether ETFs, signaling a broad-based surge in global institutional interest in crypto assets. Institutional interest is strengthening, as investors tap Bitcoin for its portfolio diversification and macro hedge qualities.
“Crypto Week” in the U.S. is shaping investor sentiment: lawmakers are set to debate major bills including the Genius Act, Clarity Act, and Anti‑CBDC Act—the culmination of growing regulatory clarity.
The broader crypto market rallied too—Ether surpassed $3,000 and total market cap climbed toward $3.81 trillion.
Still, analysts caution that Bitcoin’s volatility and sensitivity to policy shifts require proactive risk management strategies.
