Bitcoin is back in the news, breaking the $112,000 mark on July 10, 2025, according to data from major exchanges like Binance and Coinbase. This milestone, which was reached because of a mix of macroeconomic variables and institutional interest, shows how important the cryptocurrency is becoming as a worldwide asset.
According to CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin went from $108,000 to a high of $112,152 in the last 24 hours, which is a 2.5% daily gain. This brought its market capitalization up to $2.22 trillion.
The price later settled at $111,400, but the increase has made people in the crypto world hopeful. Altcoins like Ethereum (up 6%), Solana (4%), and Stellar (12%) are riding the wave. The overall value of all cryptocurrencies grew 3% to $3.5 trillion, which means that there is a lot of demand for digital assets.
The appeal of safe havens and institutional momentum
The most recent rise comes at a time when the global economy is very complicated. Analysts say that the Trump administration’s trade policies are a big reason why. Scott Bessent, the U.S. The Treasury Secretary recently said that a 32% import penalty for nations like Indonesia that don’t have trade agreements will make the market more unclear.
This tariff will start on August 1, 2025. These tariffs, which were announced in April, could go back down if negotiations go well. For now, though, they have made investors look for other options, including Bitcoin, which is typically seen as a way to protect against economic instability.
According to Bloomberg, this change in policy has helped risky assets, and Bitcoin has gained value because people see it as “digital gold.” blockchainmagazine.net
Another important part of this rally is institutional acceptance. This rise is different from prior ones that were caused by speculative leveraging; this time, consistent capital inflows are driving it.
Bitfinex analysts said that “the convergence of on-chain accumulation and off-chain order flows from exchanges paints a compelling picture of real capital, not just leveraged bets.”
More and more big companies, especially software giants, are putting Bitcoin on their balance sheets. For example, MicroStrategy added $1.1 billion in BTC in January 2025. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF alone brought in $370.2 million a day, which added up to $14.4 billion in net ETF inflows this year.
Elon Musk’s new America Party has promised to embrace Bitcoin, which adds to the positive mood. When asked about the party’s position, Musk said, “Fiat is a lost cause, so yes.” This fits with the growing confidence of institutions, as seen by American Bitcoin, a Trump-linked company that raised $220 million, including $10 million in BTC, to boost its mining activities. financemagnates.com
Status as a safe haven and falling exchange reserves
Bitcoin’s story as a safe-haven asset is gaining popularity, especially as worries grow about the value of conventional money going down.
Katalin Tischhauser, Head of Research at Sygnum Bank, says that the rise in value is because Bitcoin is a good way to protect against inflation. This is backed up by state-level Bitcoin Reserve Bills and a federal Strategic Bitcoin Reserve that was set up by executive order in March 2025.
The amount of Bitcoin held by exchanges dropped from 3.11 million BTC in March to 2.99 million BTC by May 21, 2025, according to Glassnode statistics. This suggests that investors are holding on to their coins for a long time.
Bitcoin is more appealing because there isn’t much of it, and the supply growth rate after the halving is less than 0.8% per year. 99bitcoins.comblockchainmagazine.net
The surge has also changed the way the market works in a big way. CoinGlass said that $445 million in short-position liquidations happened in 24 hours, which was part of $507 million in total liquidations. This happened because bearish traders who were betting against Bitcoin were caught off guard. This squeeze shows that the market is still going up, and since volatility is at a two-year low, it shows a “quiet strength” that could lead to more gains. blockchainmagazine.net
Future Outlook and Trends in the Market as a Whole
The rise in cryptocurrencies happens at the same time as traditional markets, especially tech companies, are doing well. As investors ignore tariff worries and put money into growth assets, the Nasdaq reached an all-time high, thanks to Nvidia’s $4 trillion market cap milestone. In the past, this kind of “risk-on” attitude has been linked to crypto rallies, and it looks like this pattern is still going strong. blockchainmagazine.net
Analysts are hopeful yet careful about the future. If the next CPI statistics (July 11) and Federal Reserve decisions (July 30) are good, Bitcoin might hit $115,000–$120,000 by the end of July.
Standard Chartered thinks the price will reach $135,000 by the third quarter. SkyBridge Capital and Fundstrat think it will reach $140,000–$200,000 by the end of the year, with speculative highs of $250,000.
However, there are also hazards, such as the possibility of corrections to $95,000–$100,000 if long-term holders start to sell more. blockchainmagazine.netcoinpedia.org
The market could change even more during the next Crypto Week, which will be from July 14 to 18, 2025. The GENIUS Act, the certainty Act, and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act are all meant to regulate stablecoins and make it clear who is in charge of crypto.
They may give the legal certainty that this rally needs to keep going. There is institutional demand, ETF inflows, and the U.S. dollar is getting weaker (down 10.8% in H1 2025). This makes it seem possible that Bitcoin may reach $150,000 before the end of the year, but the asset is still quite volatile.
