BTC price breaks through historical high

On May 22, 2025, the crypto world once again welcomed a historic moment, with Bitcoin (BTC) breaking through the $110,000 mark during the Asian trading session, setting a new price record since its inception. This bullish market is likely driven by institutional funds, policy trends, and the global economic situation.

BTC jumps to the fifth largest asset globally

For Bitcoin old miners in the past, $110,000 may have been a crazy dream, but today this number is indeed written into history. According to market data, the total market value of BTC has exceeded $2.19 trillion, officially surpassing Google and Amazon, ranking only behind gold and technology giants like Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia, becoming the fifth in the global asset ranking list.

BTC Narrative Transformation Moment

The current surge in Bitcoin to a historic high is the result of a resonance of multiple factors. The global regulatory environment is rapidly shifting towards being more crypto-friendly, especially with the release of stablecoin legislation drafts in the United States and public support from the president for crypto legislation, making the regulatory framework clearer and opening the door for institutional funds. At the same time, there has been a structural shift in the macroeconomic situation, with a weak US dollar, geopolitical tensions, credit rating downgrades, and other events leading more people to view Bitcoin as digital gold for countering risks in the traditional financial system. The narrative of this surge has completely changed, no longer solely driven by speculation, but based on long-term faith in policy consensus, institutional transformation, and shared values.

Summary

The history of Bitcoin is never short of climax, but every new high represents a deeper social dialogue, not just a leap in digital and value, but also a practical road of decentralization, monetary sovereignty, and free finance.
