Bitcoin Surges to New Highs Amid Institutional Interest
Bitcoin has hit a new all-time high for two straight days. On June 10, Bitcoin soared to $113,358.50, marking a 3.65% increase in 24 hours. This surge reflects a 96.2% growth from the same period last year.
Several factors are driving Bitcoin’s latest milestone. On June 10, it reached $113,358.50, marking its second consecutive day of record-breaking performance. This 3.65% jump over 24 hours reflects a 96.2% growth from the same period last year.
The surge is fueled by rising demand for Bitcoin ETFs, a favorable macroeconomic environment, and growing corporate interest in BTC as a treasury asset. Both retail and institutional investors are optimistic, especially as the U.S.becomes more crypto-friendly. A weakening dollar has also driven institutions to seek safe-haven assets.
Bitcoin’s rally has boosted the overall crypto market. The total market cap rose to $3.52 trillion, up 3.64% in 24 hours. Ethereum, a major altcoin, outperformed Bitcoin with a 5.54% increase.
This crypto boom coincided with a positive stock market performance. The Dow Jones gained 270 points (0.61%),and the S&P 500 climbed 0.28%. However, the tech-heavy Nasdaq saw a slight dip of 0.01%.
Despite these gains, trade tensions persist. President Trump threatened Brazil with a 50% tariff, citing issues with former President Bolsonaro. Brazil vowed to retaliate. This follows similar threats against Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines.
Trump uses tariffs to achieve geopolitical goals beyond trade imbalances. Such as, he threatened Colombia over migration issues.
