$BTC Navigating Global Geopolitics: Stability with Increasing Institutional Momentum

Madrid, Spain – Bitcoin remains in a relatively stable price range, hovering around $106,000 this Thursday, June 20, 2025, as the cryptocurrency market navigates between caution due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and growing institutional interest globally.

Despite a slight increase today, Bitcoin's gains have been limited. The uncertainty generated by the situation between Israel and Iran is influencing investor behavior. Some analyses suggest that, amid this global tension, Bitcoin is attracting millions of dollars, acting for some as a safe-haven asset against instability.

Institutional interest continues to be a key driver for Bitcoin. BlackRock, through its iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) ETF, already controls an impressive 3% of the Bitcoin in circulation worldwide. This is further complemented by Semler Scientific's disclosure of its plan to accumulate 100,000 Bitcoin, and CoinShares' confirmation that most investors in Ether ETFs already have exposure to Bitcoin, highlighting the interconnection in the digital asset space.

In the regulatory and adoption landscape, significant movements are observed across the globe:

* Coinbase has obtained the MiCA license, allowing it to offer Bitcoin in Europe, facilitating its adoption in the region.

* In contrast, Norway is considering a temporary ban on new cryptocurrency mining data centers, which could impact Bitcoin mining in the country.

* The Arizona Senate in the United States has reactivated a bill to establish a strategic reserve of Bitcoin, a measure that highlights the growing recognition of the cryptocurrency.

* Even former President Donald Trump has praised the progress of a stablecoin bill and has urged for its immediate approval in the U.S.
