Bitcoin hits new all-time high, surpassing $126,000 amid institutional demand surge

07.10.2025    13:28

Bitcoin set a new historic record overnight, climbing above $126,000, marking the second consecutive all-time high in two days. Since the start of 2025, the world’s largest cryptocurrency has gained more than 33%, achieving one of the strongest growth periods in its history and reinforcing its position as the leading digital asset on the global market.

The sharp rally followed a brief dip below $108,000 just over a week ago. Since September 28, Bitcoin has added roughly 13%. Analysts attribute the surge to a wave of institutional capital inflows and broader macroeconomic factors, including concerns over a possible U.S. government shutdown and expectations of further interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve.

According to market data, cryptocurrency ETFs attracted about $2.5 billion in August 2025, signaling growing confidence among large investors in Bitcoin as a hedge asset.

“The next 12 weeks will be very interesting for Bitcoin holders,” wrote Anthony Pompliano, founder and CEO of Professional Capital Management.

Market forecasts remain optimistic. Analysts expect Bitcoin to reach between $150,000–$165,000 by year-end, while Citigroup projects a 12-month target of $181,000.

However, not all experts believe the rally will continue uninterrupted.

David Morrison, senior market analyst at Trade Nation, noted:

“Bitcoin may need to consolidate before it has another opportunity to push higher.”

Technical indicators also suggest potential short-term corrections if the price fails to hold above key support levels.

The current Bitcoin rally coincides with a broad cryptocurrency market upswing — total market capitalization has surpassed $4 trillion. Analysts highlight, however, that this growth is driven primarily by institutional investors, while retail participation remains relatively subdued.

Experts see this as a potential turning point for the industry, signaling the start of a new era of institutional dominance in crypto markets, where major financial players increasingly view Bitcoin as a legitimate hedge against macroeconomic risks.
