Bitcoin has increased over 25% year-to-date, hitting record highs of $122,000, driven by substantial Wall Street inflows, including $85 billion from new Bitcoin ETFs. This influx of traditional capital has reduced Bitcoin's volatility, contrasting its past performance. Global equity markets have also risen, but Bitcoin's gains overshadow the S&P 500's 6.58% increase. Factors such as the regulatory support from the Trump Administration and large inflows from ETFs have played a vital role in Bitcoin's rise, with the iShares Bitcoin Trust reaching $80 billion in just 18 months.
Bitcoin has surged over 25% year-to-date, reaching record highs above $122,000, fueled by massive inflows from Wall Street, including $85 billion from new Bitcoin ETFs over the last year.

The sums are staggering, with $35 billion in inflows from new Bitcoin ETFs offered by Wall Street funds in 2024 and $50 billion more inflows this year.
BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust alone holds $80 billion-it has only been in existence for 18 months, demonstrating the rapid growth and acceptance of Bitcoin within traditional finance.
