The cryptocurrency market has just witnessed a historic leap as Bitcoin (BTC) reached a record high of nearly 112,000 USD, leading to a surge in both spot and futures trading volumes – a clear sign that the wave of investment is returning strongly.


Trading volume peaks in 2025

According to data from ⟨t-43/⟩, the spot trading volume of Bitcoin in the last two days has exceeded 150 billion USD – the highest in nearly two months. Meanwhile, futures trading on Wednesday reached 203 billion USD, the third-highest this year, following the peaks on April 7 (229.7 billion USD) and January 20 (222.9 billion USD), according to CoinGlass.


Notably, the above figures do not account for the inflow of capital into Bitcoin ETF funds in the US, which have attracted an additional 1.6 billion USD just this week, according to data from Farside Investors.


Bitcoin price surges amid positive macro signals

At the most recent time, the price of Bitcoin was recorded at approximately 111,100 USD, up over 2% in 24 hours and nearly 8% in the past week. This breakout comes from:




Confidence in Bitcoin as a safe-haven asset against the risk of the USD devaluation.




Positive inflation signals and President Trump's de-escalation of global trade tensions.




Strong participation from listed companies like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) – now holding approximately 576,000 BTC, equivalent to 64.5 billion USD at current prices.




Altcoin is not left out

Not only Bitcoin, other major coins also recorded significant increases. Ethereum (⟨c-17/⟩), the second-largest cryptocurrency, has risen over 56% in the past 30 days and is currently trading above 2,600 USD, up 5.6% in the last 24 hours.



Signals for long-term trends

The explosive growth in both price and liquidity indicates that the market is entering a new phase of confidence and institutional capital flow. Bitcoin's continued comparison to gold as a safe-haven asset, especially in the context of macroeconomic volatility, shows that the role of crypto is increasingly being recognized widely.



Risk warning: The crypto market is highly volatile and not suitable for all investors. Always be cautious and do thorough research before making investment decisions. ⟨t-33/⟩
