Bitcoin last hit an all-time high at ~$123,091.61 on July 14...
Driven by massive ETF inflows ($1.18B in a day)
and institutional adoption, it's up 73.3% YTD.
What a ride!
That isn't the whole story...

Started 2025 at $94,566,
Climbed to $112k in May, then BOOM – July's peak.
Analysts point to the halving's ripple effect and favorable regulations.
But watch out: -2.39% dip last 7 days shows volatility's real.
ETF mania and big players jumping in are fueling this fire.
Regulatory shifts, like relaxed SEC rules, helped too.
But energy demands from mining are stirring local pushback –
Could be a hurdle.

CoinDesk and Bloomberg confirm the surge.
Innovation's driving growth,
But fraud risks linger.
Is $150k next?
