Bitcoin’s value has soared past $120,000, breaking previous records and entering a new bull market. This article explores three key forces powering the surge in July 2025.
🔍 Top 3 Drivers:
- Regulatory Momentum (Crypto Week)
- The GENIUS Act (stablecoins), Clarity Act (token classification), and Anti-CBDC Act are all progressing through Congress.
- These bills provide unprecedented clarity to U.S. crypto markets, calming investor uncertainty.
- Analysts expect them to pass by August 2025, boosting institutional confidence.
- Institutional Investment Inflows
- Bitcoin spot ETFs have attracted over $3.7 billion in new inflows in just 3 weeks.
- Products by BlackRock, Fidelity, and VanEck are dominating volumes.
- Hedge funds and pension funds are leading the pack, with family offices catching up.
- Macro & Geopolitical Tailwinds
- Rising U.S.–China tariffs, fears of global recession, and weakening dollar strength are all making Bitcoin more attractive as a non-sovereign store of value.
- Some investors are shifting from gold and real estate to BTC as a hedge.
🧠 Analyst Quote:
“Bitcoin is benefitting from a rare alignment: policy optimism, strong liquidity, and global uncertainty. It’s doing what it was designed to do—thrive in chaos,” said Meltem Demirors, Chief Strategy Officer at CoinShares.
📈 Other Data:
- Bitcoin’s market cap is now over $2.4 trillion.
- Ethereum is up 9%, Solana +12%, and Avalanche +18% over the week.
