2025-07-14 21:34:29
Main Idea
Bitcoin reached a record high, validating its status as a 'high-beta safe haven' amid macroeconomic uncertainty, driven by institutional inflows and structural demand outpacing issuance.
Key Points
1. Bitcoin surged to an all-time high of over $123,000, becoming the world’s fifth-largest asset by market cap.
2. Bitfinex analysts attribute the rally to aggressive bidding from short-term holders and massive institutional inflows, including $2.72 billion in ETF inflows in one week.
3. Blackrock’s IBIT ETF reached $80 billion in assets under management faster than any ETF in history.
4. Wallets holding under 100 BTC accumulated 19,300 BTC monthly, outpacing post-halving monthly issuance of 13,400 BTC.
5. The surge contrasts with U.S. economic strains, including weakening labor markets and small businesses scaling back investments.
