The cryptocurrency broke from $118,000 to $119,000 in just two days its fastest $1,000 climb to date. Over the past year, Bitcoin has more than doubled in value, gaining 14% in the past month alone.

The digital asset was valued at only $290 a decade ago. This reflects a staggering 410x price increase, or an annualized return of 83%. 

At press time, Bitcoin trades at $122,357.47, up 3.68% in the last 24 hours. Institutional activity is increasing, with reports highlighting large inflows and elevated trading volumes across spot and futures markets.

Bilello’s milestone chart shows that Bitcoin is moving through $1,000 price levels at a historic pace. 

Analysts are also watching liquidity ETF flows tied to BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale-managed funds. The current rally is widely viewed as momentum-driven, but grounded in regulatory optimism and broader macro shifts.

On Wednesday, a congressional hearing titled “Making America the Crypto Capital of the World” will take place.
