$BTC breaks $110,000: The 'watershed' of the digital gold era and the paradigm revolution in global asset allocation
On May 22, 2025, BTC demonstrated a strong performance with an intraday increase of over 8%, breaking the $110,000 mark and setting a new historical high, pushing the total market capitalization of global cryptocurrencies beyond $3.5 trillion.
This milestone not only further validates BTC's attribute as 'digital gold' but also signals a profound change in the logic of global capital flows and asset allocation.
Currently, the price range of BTC has attracted the largest scale of leveraged short positions in cryptocurrency history. Once it breaks the $108,000 threshold, it will trigger a chain reaction of forced liquidations, further driving up the price.
Altcoin recovery expectations: ETH breaks through the $2,700 resistance level, and the market is watching whether it can replicate the legendary 1820% increase of 2020; Meme coins surge 500% in a single day due to celebrity effects, and the altcoin market may see a comprehensive explosion.
BTC still has a gap compared to its historical peak, but it has increased over 15% in the past 30 days, and caution is needed against profit-taking selling pressure.
In the past 24 hours, over 120,000 people have been liquidated due to leveraged trading, with a total amount of $560 million, and market risks are accumulating.
BTC breaking $110,000 is not only a price breakthrough but also a repricing of the value of 'digital gold' by global capital. This milestone signifies:
The market capitalization of BTC is now comparable to that of silver, becoming an indispensable component of institutional asset portfolios.
Against the backdrop of weakening dollar credit and escalating geopolitical conflicts, BTC is gradually eroding gold's safe-haven status, driving global capital toward non-sovereign credit assets.
BTC breaking $110,000 is a 'coming of age' for the digital currency era, as well as a 'watershed' in global capital flows. Investors need to remain rational amid short-term fluctuations and seize opportunities in long-term trends, avoiding excessive optimism or pessimism based on single factors.
As Grayscale Research points out: 'Regardless of who takes over the White House, the reality of the U.S. government debt/GDP ratio surpassing 150% is difficult to reverse. This continuous erosion of fiat currency credit will ultimately push more institutional investors into the embrace of Bitcoin.'
