Institutional inflows into U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs totaled $3.25 billion last week, providing significant buying pressure.
The rally coincides with a U.S. government shutdown, prompting investors to seek safe-haven assets like Bitcoin and gold in a “debasement trade” amid a weakening dollar.
Another portfolio strategist, referenced by Bloomberg, noted, “This is not a retail rally. It’s an institutional repositioning.”
Other cryptocurrencies also saw gains, with Ethereum up 34% year-to-date, XRP up 41%, and Solana up 18%.
The crypto-friendly policies under President Donald Trump’s administration have further bolstered confidence in digital assets.
