The historical demonstration of bitcoin continues without signs of slowdown.
The world’s most famous cryptocurrency hit a all -time high night from Sunday to Monday, briefly exceeding the symbolic threshold of $ 123,000 before retiring slightly. By 6:00 am ET, it hovered around $ 122,013, according to data from Co ringecko.
This swing growth marks more than 30% increase in bitcoin price since January, exceeding even gold and feeding the story that bitcoin is the new “digital gold.”
The ETF effect
Analysts attribute much of the move to growing institutional interest, driven largely by Bitcoin ETFS, new investment products that allow daily investors and financial institutions to buy shares that track the price of Bitcoin, without having to own the cryptocurrency directly.
Graphics circulating on social media show that staining bitcoin ETF streams have reached all kinds of highs, reflecting continued demand from large investors. Coinbase envisioned a massive second wave of capital entering the market after US financial advisers are legally allowed to recommend Bitcoin ETFs to their customers. This opens the door to billions in retirement savings, pension funds and other traditional investment currents inserted into bitcoin.

Congress, Crypt, and the Future of Finance
The time limit of Bitcoin climbing is not coincidental. It comes when Crypto week begins in Washington, DC, it is a high-level political moment for the crypto industry. Legislators consider several bills that could reformulate how digital securities are regulated in the United States. These include:
- Formalizing the legal status of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies
- Change Overview to the Commercial Commission on Commerce (CFTC)
- Legalizing the use of stables in daily payments
- Prohibiting future US Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)
Bitcoin Vs. gold
The rise of bitcoin put it before almost every other major asset in 2025.
“Gold (+28%) and Bitcoin (+26%) are now the most prominent main assets so far in 2025,” remarked Charlie Bilello, a leading market strategist at creative planning. “We’ve never seen these two in the number 1/ #2 for any calendar year.”

This dynamics have strengthened Bitcoin’s mark as “digital gold” and added to its appeal for a year marked by inflation concerns, monetary fluctuations and geopolitical uncertainty.
Not everyone is celebrating
However, some market viewers sound alarms about the rhythm and nature of the demonstration. The team behind the Kobeissi letter, a widely followed financial newsletter, notes a critical paradox: Bitcoin grows while interest rates remain high, a combination that challenges traditional economic models. They fear that bitcoin has entered a dangerous new phase.
“This is not normal,” they wrote. “We reached a point where bitcoin moves along a literal straight line higher. Rates are rising, the $ decreased -11% in 6 months, and a crypt rises a +$ 1 trillion in 3 months. What happens? Bitcoin entered” Emergency mode. ”
This is not “normal.”
We reached a point where bitcoin moves in a literal straight line higher.
Rates are rising, the USD has decreased -11% in 6 months, and crypto rising +$ 1 trillion in 3 months.
What’s going on? Bitcoin entered “Emergency mode.”

They connect this emergency regime directly to mass government spending, showing the acceleration of the demonstration after the passage of President Trump’s recent spending package.
“Bitcoin has reached a point where it literally makes new times many times daily. As the US house has passed President Trump’s” Big Beautiful Bill “on July 3, Bitcoin rose +15,000 $.”
Their conclusion is a severe warning for anyone looking at the markets.
“If the growth of gold prices didn’t point out to you, bitcoin should.”
Bitcoin has reached a point, where it literally makes new high times many times daily.
As the US house passed the “Big Beautiful Bill” by President Trump on July 3, Bitcoin rose +$ 15,000.
