- Bitcoin approached $100,000 on May 9, 2025, reaching $99,882 after a 3% price increase in global trading.
- Investor interest surged due to inflows of $5.3 billion into U.S. Bitcoin ETFs and growing institutional portfolio allocations.
- Standard Chartered's Geoffrey Kendrick, head of digital assets, projected Bitcoin would hit $120,000 in Q2 2025, driven by whale accumulation and asset reallocation.
- Kendrick apologized for potentially underselling Bitcoin, stating his $120,000 target “may be too low” amid expectations for a $200,000 year-end price.
- The rally and institutional adoption imply sustained upward momentum with possible record highs, as reflected by MicroStrategy and major sovereign wealth funds increasing exposure.
