The world's leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, reached a new historical high on Monday, driven by euphoria among investors.
Bitcoin has reportedly been on a continuously incredible rally since the outset of 2025, primarily led by institutional interest, crypto-friendly policies introduced by US President Donald Trump, and its ever-increasing integration into global financial systems.
Earlier on Sunday, the world's largest cryptocurrency surpassed $125,000 for the first time, peaking at $125,835.92. The following day, on Monday, it surged 2.02% to $125,253.63 after registering two consecutive days of gains and an overall remarkable rise of over 33% this year.
Anthony Pompliano, founder and CEO of Professional Capital Management, stated in a letter to investors, “Bitcoin is the hurdle rate. If you can’t beat it, you have to buy it. The next 12 weeks will be exciting for Bitcoin holders.”
Bitcoin's new all-time high comes to coincide with a weakening US dollar, which is prompting investors to seek alternatives. The dollar index, which measures the dollar against other major currencies, remains flat at 98.09 after losing nearly 10% this year, Reuters reported.
David Morrison, a senior market analyst at Trade Nation, highlighted that Bitcoin has gained around 13% since dropping below $110,000 just over a week ago.
He underscored a sharp uptick in Bitcoin's daily momentum indicators, hinting at the potential for further growth as well as a possible need for consolidation.
