Bitcoin Surges Past $110,000 as Institutional Demand Fuels Crypto Market Dominance Over Tech Stocks
In a remarkable turnaround, Bitcoin has stabilized near the $110,000 mark after a brief weekend dip, showcasing its resilience amid growing institutional interest. The cryptocurrency market continues to outperform tech stocks, with spot ETFs like BlackRock’s IBIT recording 30 consecutive days of net inflows. This trend underscores the deepening trust in digital assets as a lasting asset class, while tech stocks, particularly leveraged instruments such as TQQQ, face significant outflows. The fading expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts since April have further highlighted Bitcoin’s strength as a hedge and growth vehicle in the current financial landscape.
Crypto Market Outperforms Tech Stocks in 2025

Meanwhile, tech stocks—particularly Leveraged instruments like the TQQQ—face significant outflows. Since April, fading expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts and mounting inflation worries have dampened investor enthusiasm for the sector.
As markets await Friday’s Core PCE inflation report, analysts highlight a widening divergence between crypto and tech. Institutional capital appears to be reallocating toward digital assets, drawn by their structural advantages and inflation-resistant properties.
