Cointelegraph reports Bitcoin could surge past $122,000 this year, fueled by three key factors. Global Money Supply Expansion: The global broad money (M2) supply has reached a record $55.5 trillion. Historically, M2 and BTC exhibit a strong correlation, suggesting further expansion could drive Bitcoin's price upwards. Bitcoin Spot ETF Inflows: Bitcoin spot ETFs are rapidly approaching gold ETFs in assets under management. Reaching and surpassing $198 billion AUM will solidify Bitcoin's status as a mainstream reserve asset, attracting further institutional investment. This shift from perceived risk to established reserve will be a major catalyst. Potential Retail Investor Return: Currently, retail interest in crypto is relatively low. A resurgence of retail investment could trigger a significant rally, pushing Bitcoin to new heights. A combination of FOMO and wider accessibility through platforms like ETFs could reignite this interest. ```
