Bitcoin Price Hits New ATH of $112k: Is the 2025 Altseason Here? Experts’ Insights
Bitcoin surged to a record $112,000 on Binance and other exchanges, marking a 2% gain in 24 hours and eclipsing its previous peak of $111,814. The rally pushed its market cap above $2.2 trillion, surpassing Alphabet and solidifying its position as the fifth most valuable asset globally.
Institutional demand and regulatory clarity have been key drivers, with U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracting over $13 billion in inflows since January. Retail sentiment, as tracked by Santiment, turned bullish amid widespread boredom and fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD). Geopolitical tensions and tariff wars briefly tested psychological resistance at $109,000 before the breakout.
The momentum spilled into altcoins, though the article cuts off before detailing specific impacts. Market watchers now question whether this signals the start of a sustained altseason.
Changpeng Zhao’s YZi Labs Launches BNB-Based Treasury Company
Binance founder Changpeng Zhao's family office, YZi Labs, is spearheading institutional crypto adoption with a new BNB-focused treasury company. Partnering with 10X Capital, the venture aims to acquire and hold BNB with plans for a major U.S. stock exchange listing—creating a regulated gateway for traditional investors.
The initiative mirrors successful bitcoin accumulation strategies by firms like MicroStrategy, but marks a first for exchange-linked tokens. Galaxy Digital co-founder David Namdar will lead the company, while 10X Capital serves as asset manager—signaling serious Wall Street ambitions for BNB.
This MOVE capitalizes on growing demand for crypto exposure through traditional instruments, bypassing direct exchange usage. The model could redefine how institutional investors engage with ecosystem tokens beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
