Overview

  • Bitcoin hit an all-time high of $110,707 during early Asian trading on Thursday, marking a 46% rebound from its April low of $75,000.
  • The U.S. Senate advanced stablecoin legislation this week, signaling progress toward broader cryptocurrency regulation and boosting investor confidence.
  • Institutional demand surged in May, with spot Bitcoin ETFs attracting $3.6 billion in inflows and corporate treasuries increasing their Bitcoin holdings.
  • Easing U.S.-China trade tensions, softer inflation data, and a weaker dollar have created a favorable macroeconomic backdrop for Bitcoin's rally.
  • Options traders are positioning for further price increases, with significant open interest in call options at $110,000 and $300,000 strikes for June expirations.
