The Bitcoin price surge to $108,000 on Monday has ignited a fresh rally across the cryptocurrency market, lifting altcoins and pushing the global market cap above $3.35 trillion. This marks Bitcoin’s highest level since May 29 and represents a 7.55% jump from its monthly low.

The upswing comes amid a confluence of bullish signals: easing geopolitical tensions, strong institutional accumulation, and optimistic technical indicators — all pointing toward further upward momentum for digital assets.

Trade Talks Trigger Investor Optimism

One of the primary catalysts for the Bitcoin price surge appears to be the start of trade negotiations between the United States and China. Talks began Monday in London, and investors are hopeful for a resolution that could ease export controls and reduce tariffs. If successful, such an outcome could alleviate macroeconomic uncertainty and promote risk-on sentiment across global markets.

Historically, crypto prices tend to rise during periods of reduced geopolitical risk and economic optimism — and this week’s events seem to be no exception.

Altcoins Ride Bitcoin’s Bullish Wave

While Bitcoin dominated the headlines, altcoins also saw notable gains. Venice Token (VVV) climbed to $3.52 from its monthly low of $2.56. Other standout performers included Kaia (KAIA), Ravencoin (RVN), Fartcoin (FART), and SPX6900 (SPX), which all surged more than 10% on Monday.

The Bitcoin price surge often sets the tone for the broader crypto market. Altcoins typically follow BTC’s lead during strong bullish phases, and that trend appears to be repeating this week.

Institutional Accumulation Signals Long-Term Confidence

Institutional demand continues to strengthen the bull case. Strategy, a business intelligence firm, purchased 1,045 BTC worth $110 million last week, raising its total holdings to 582,000 BTC — now worth over $62 billion. This move mirrors ongoing buying from companies like Trump Media, MetaPlanet, and GameStop (NYSE:GME), which have all added Bitcoin to their treasuries.

Additionally, the amount of Bitcoin held on exchanges has dropped significantly — from 1.57 million on January 1 to just 1.18 million today. This decline in exchange balances suggests that investors are moving their assets to cold storage for long-term holding, a signal typically interpreted as bullish.

Big Names Predict Even Bigger Gains

Financial heavyweights are also expressing optimism. ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood recently reiterated her long-term projection that Bitcoin could rise 15-fold over the next five years. FundStrat’s Tom Lee predicts Bitcoin will hit between $200,000 and $300,000 by year-end — a bold forecast that further fuels investor excitement.

Such statements from influential figures help drive retail and institutional interest, reinforcing the belief that Bitcoin still has room to grow.

Technical Indicators Point to $142K Target

Bitcoin’s latest move is also supported by technical analysis. A cup-and-handle formation — a bullish chart pattern — has officially activated, suggesting the potential for a breakout to $142,000. As shown in recent charts, Bitcoin has breached the upper boundary of a descending channel, a key resistance level.

Historically, this pattern precedes major upward movements. As Bitcoin climbs, it tends to create a rising tide for altcoins, which thrive during extended rallies.

Outlook: Continued Momentum or Temporary Spike?

While the current rally shows strong fundamentals and technical confirmation, some analysts caution against excessive short-term exuberance. The Bitcoin price surge has been rapid, and markets may pause for breath if trade talks falter or if macroeconomic conditions deteriorate.

Still, the convergence of reduced exchange supply, bullish sentiment, and institutional demand bodes well for continued upside.

If momentum holds, Bitcoin’s next milestone of $120,000 could be just around the corner — and with it, another leg up for the entire crypto market.

Altcoins often benefit from this type of momentum, attracting both retail and institutional investors. As bullish narratives grow stronger, 2025 could be a historic year for crypto.

Crypto ETF inflows surged last week as investor appetite for digital assets rebounded sharply, led by Ethereum products and strategic Bitcoin purchases by major institutional players. According to CoinShares, digital asset investment products recorded a net total of $224 million in inflows, signaling renewed confidence in the crypto market despite volatility tied to macro-political tensions.

Ethereum ETFs Lead the Charge

Ethereum-based exchange-traded products dominated the flow charts, drawing $296.4 million in inflows, marking the seventh consecutive week of positive movement. That brings Ethereum ETF inflows to $1.5 billion over the last two months — accounting for 10.5% of total assets under management in ETH-linked funds, according to CoinShares’ Head of Research, James Butterfill.

These steady gains underscore growing institutional confidence in Ethereum’s long-term value proposition, especially as its transition to proof-of-stake and scalability upgrades continue to mature.

Bitcoin ETFs See Outflows, But IBIT Breaks Records

In contrast, Bitcoin ETFs recorded $56.5 million in outflows for the week — the second consecutive week of investor pullback. However, there were signs of a mid-week reversal, with U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs noting brief inflows on Tuesday and Wednesday before returning to outflows on Thursday.

That volatility coincided with a political clash between Donald Trump and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk over Trump’s proposed “One Big Beautiful Bill.” Musk slammed the bill for its projected $3 trillion increase to the U.S. deficit, warning that Trump’s protectionist tariffs could spark a U.S. recession. In response, Trump retaliated by threatening to cut off government subsidies to Musk’s ventures.

Despite the drama, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) hit a major milestone — surpassing $70 billion in assets under management. This makes IBIT the fastest ETF to ever reach that figure, beating the previous record set by SPDR Gold Shares (NYSEARCA:GLD), which took 1,691 trading days. IBIT accomplished the feat in just 341 days, according to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas.

Strategy Deepens Bitcoin Exposure

Meanwhile, Strategy, a leading business intelligence firm, announced it acquired 1,045 BTC for $110.2 million, paying an average of $105,426 per BTC. The firm now holds 582,000 BTC, purchased at a blended cost of $70,086 per coin.

This latest purchase follows the company’s $1 billion upsized Series A Perpetual Stride Preferred Stock (STRD) offering, reinforcing its reputation as the most aggressive corporate holder of Bitcoin. Strategy’s ongoing BTC accumulation continues to inspire smaller firms to add crypto exposure to their balance sheets.

For example, The Blockchain Group recently partnered with French asset manager TOBAM to launch a €300 million ATM-style capital program aimed at building its Bitcoin treasury reserves.

Bitcoin Climbs on Global Tariff Talks

Bitcoin (BTC) responded positively to news of productive trade talks between U.S. and Chinese officials in London, gaining 2% on Monday and trading above $108,000. Market watchers say any progress on tariff reductions or avoidance of economic retaliation could improve investor sentiment and reduce market headwinds.

Crypto ETF Inflows Signal Strategic Shifts

The recent crypto ETF inflows — especially those led by Ethereum — point to a possible rebalancing of institutional strategies. While Bitcoin remains the dominant crypto asset, Ethereum’s evolving ecosystem and real-world applications are drawing renewed interest from fund managers.

In parallel, record-breaking ETF milestones like IBIT’s ascent to $70 billion highlight how mainstream crypto investment vehicles are becoming deeply embedded in the broader capital markets landscape.

As the crypto industry navigates ongoing political uncertainty, shifting regulatory winds, and a maturing investment environment, these developments suggest that crypto ETF inflows will be a key metric to watch in assessing institutional sentiment and long-term adoption.

As institutional interest intensifies and political developments continue to sway investor sentiment, the pace and direction of crypto ETF inflows could shape the next major wave of digital asset adoption.
