On May 22, Bitcoin surged past $110,000 per coin, setting a new all-time high with an increase of nearly 3% within 24 hours. The total market capitalization surpassed $2.1 trillion, rising to fifth place in the global asset market capitalization rankings, behind only gold, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Apple. This milestone breakthrough not only marks a comprehensive return of market confidence but also announces the official start of a new round of encryption bull run.
Since the correction in April due to fluctuations in the global trade situation, Bitcoin has rebounded strongly from $75,000, with a cumulative rise of up to 47%, and an overall increase of 17.5% for the year, further highlighting its unique financial positioning as “digital gold.”
Who is driving Bitcoin to a new historical high?
The recent Bitcoin breakthrough of $110,000 is driven by the following seven core factors:
On May 21, the Hong Kong Legislative Council passed the Stablecoin Bill in the third reading, introducing a licensing system for stablecoins. This policy lays the institutional foundation for Hong Kong to build a global Web3 and digital asset hub, and releases a positive signal for the Asian market.
The Senate passed a key bill to introduce a federal regulatory framework for stablecoins, allowing large banks to issue and widely use stablecoins, which could drive the market to $2.5 trillion. The move is seen as the most important regulatory tailwind after the Bitcoin spot ETF.
The US dollar, US Treasury yields, and stock markets are all declining simultaneously, triggering a rise in global risk aversion and driving funds into decentralized assets such as Bitcoin.
After the passage of the SB21 bill, Texas is expected to become the second state in the United States to establish Bitcoin reserves, with local government recognition of BTC continuously rising.
The joint statement announced a 90-day suspension of tariffs imposed on the US and the cancellation of several non-tariff countermeasures, eliminating macroeconomic uncertainties for the market and boosting investor confidence.
Both parties expressed positive statements on “any form of negotiation” to ease major global geopolitical conflicts and guide market sentiment to recover.
ON MAY 23, TRUMP WILL HOST A PRIVATE DINNER WITH THE TOP 220 TRUMP COIN WINNERS. This event attracted widespread attention and indirectly stimulated the market’s interest and discussion of crypto assets.
At the same time, the “Fear and Greed Index” of the crypto market is currently at 72, which is in the “greedy” zone, showing a significant rebound in speculative enthusiasm and capital activity. Although it is slightly lower than the 84 high set at the beginning of the year after Trump took office, the overall confidence has been significantly restored, providing further upward momentum for the short-term market.
It is worth mentioning that May 22 is also the “Bitcoin Pizza Festival” commemorated by the global crypto community. In 2010, programmer Laszlo used 10,000 bitcoins to buy two pizzas, a transaction worth more than $1.1 billion, and has become a landmark event for bitcoin to move from an experiment to a real economy.
