Bitcoin has blasted through the $101,000 mark today, reclaiming six-figure territory for the first time since February 2025.
Naturally, I had to dig in
Here’s what I found.
1. US and UK trade deal sweeteners
The newly announced trade agreement between the US and UK includes tariff reductions, sparking optimism for smoother global capital flows. Investors are betting this could strengthen cross-border business activity and Bitcoin is riding the wave.
2. US interest rates hold steady
The Federal Reserve’s decision to maintain interest rates at 4.25% to 4.5% has injected fresh confidence into risk assets. With no immediate hikes in sight, liquidity is finding its way back into crypto markets.
3. Institutional money floods in
Spot Bitcoin ETFs are seeing record-breaking inflows as institutional investors pile in. Big money is clearly bullish and the price chart reflects it.
China has cut its interest rate and will inject liquidity into the market, which strongly contributed to the recent surge in Bitcoin. Additionally, global M2 is also in a strong uptrend. Bitcoin tends to follow it, although with a delay of a few days. Well, this is the natural path for Bitcoin, as long as money keeps being printed, it will continue to appreciate in fiat terms
