Bitcoin Rally Driven More by Institutional Demand than Speculation

UNITED STATES, JUL 14 – Bitcoin's price surge to over $123,000 is fueled by institutional investments and upcoming US crypto bills, with crypto ETFs seeing $3.7 billion inflows this week, industry data shows.

  • Bitcoin crossed $123,000 for the first time on July 14, coinciding with the start of the US-designated Crypto Week.
  • The rally follows strong institutional inflows, growing regulatory clarity through bills like the GENIUS Act, and corporate purchases including Metaplant's 797 bitcoin acquisition.
  • Open interest in bitcoin futures hit a record $57.4 billion with rising short liquidations, signaling hedging and momentum driven by larger, long-term investors.
  • Bitcoin's market cap now exceeds $2.42 trillion, surpassing Amazon's $2.39 trillion, and it has delivered a 30% annual return, topping gold's 26.7%.
  • Experts note this institutional-driven surge reflects bitcoin's maturation, but a short-term price reversal is expected before retail investors engage meaningfully at higher levels.
