Bitcoin Hits Record High Amid ETF Boom and Regulatory Tailwinds

Bitcoin has reached new all-time highs above $120K, marking a ~65% year-to-date gain. The rally is powered by massive spot Bitcoin ETF inflows—over $3B this week alone—and renewed optimism from U.S. regulatory developments like the GENIUS Act and CLARITY Act. Institutional adoption continues to climb, with corporations and even governments increasing their Bitcoin reserves. While analysts see potential for further gains, investors should remain cautious of short-term volatility and evolving policy landscapes.
