Bitcoin set a new all-time high, rising to $125,245.57. Thus, the main cryptocurrency of the world rose in price by another 2.7% compared to the previous maximum, reports Reuters agency.
Bitcoin’s previous record high of $124,480 was set in mid-August 2025. Then the price increase was caused by the favorable regulatory decisions of the administration of US President Donald Trump, which stimulated the development of the crypto market, as well as increased interest from large institutional investors.
During the last eight trading sessions, the cryptocurrency showed continuous growth. One of the key factors was the influx of investments into exchange-traded index funds that track the price of Bitcoin, as well as the positive dynamics of the American stock markets, recovering from the summer slump.
At the same time, the US dollar lost ground, falling to the lowest values for several weeks in relation to the leading world currencies. Analysts attribute this to the uncertainty surrounding the “shutdown” of the US government – the temporary suspension of its work due to disputes over the state budget in Congress. In addition, political difficulties have delayed the release of important economic reports, including labor market statistics, which are a key indicator of the state of the American economy.
Experts believe that in the short term, Bitcoin can continue to grow if the market maintains positive dynamics and the stability of the regulatory environment. At the same time, they warn that after reaching a new historical maximum, a course correction is likely due to the increased volatility of the crypto market.
