Bitcoin has reached a new peak, hitting $125,689. This surge follows a previous record on July 14, when the cryptocurrency exceeded $122,000, fueled by increased corporate demand driven by then-US President Donald Trump’s crypto-friendly policies.

According to data from the analytics firm Coinmarketcap, the total value of the global cryptocurrency market, including Bitcoin, has risen by approximately 1.50% over a 24-hour period, climbing to $4.26 trillion.

As reported by Bloomberg, the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, Bitcoin, set a new record high today (October 5th), reaching $125,689 (approximately 5 million 240 thousand Turkish Lira). After trading around the $109,000 level last week, Bitcoin is currently (as of 09:56 local time) trading at $125,120.

This rally has not been isolated to Bitcoin. Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market value, also saw a gain of about 1.1%, rising to the $4,570 level.

Market Dynamics and Investor Sentiment

The current price action suggests robust and growing investor confidence, with the market continuing its strong recovery trend observed since the start of the year. The initial boost from the perceived favorable regulatory environment under the previous administration seems to have translated into sustained institutional interest. Companies are increasingly integrating cryptocurrencies into their balance sheets and services, which provides a solid foundation for the market’s appreciation.

Furthermore, the recent surge can be attributed to several factors:

Increased Institutional Adoption: Major financial institutions and corporations continue to allocate capital to digital assets, viewing them as a hedge against inflation and a store of value similar to digital gold.
Supply Dynamics: The inherent scarcity of Bitcoin, coupled with ongoing “halving” events that reduce the rate of new supply creation, naturally applies upward pressure on its price as demand rises.
Macroeconomic Environment: Global economic uncertainty and sustained low interest rates in traditional markets make high-growth, non-sovereign assets like Bitcoin an appealing alternative for both retail and institutional investors.

This record-breaking run solidifies Bitcoin’s position as a globally significant asset class, further blurring the lines between traditional finance and the decentralized digital economy.
