Bitcoin (BTC-USD) hit a new all-time high above $111,000 (£82,605) on Thursday, marking another milestone in its 2025 bull run. The world’s largest cryptocurrency by market cap continued to surge even as US stock markets declined on Wednesday, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq (^IXIC) posting losses. Analysts are pointing to growing institutional appetite for bitcoin as a major factor in its price appreciation.

Bitcoin (BTC-USD) traded relatively flat on Thursday, priced just above $102,200 (£76,989) — down around 1% on the day — as institutional investors resumed allocations into US-based spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on Wednesday. A total of nearly $320m flowed into the eleven US-listed bitcoin ETFs during the session, reversing Tuesday’s outflows. BlackRock’s (BLK) IBIT (IBIT) led the way, attracting $232.9m in inflows.

Bitcoin surged (BTC-USD) past $99,300 (£74,786) early on Thursday, edging closer to the $100,000 (£75,313) milestone, amid optimism surrounding US president Donald Trump's anticipated trade deal with the UK. The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation gained over 2.5%, buoyed by expectations of tariff reductions and improving macroeconomic conditions. Trump is scheduled to announce the framework of the UK trade agreement at a news conference later on Thursday.

In the first 100 days of Donald Trump’s return to the White House, two politically charged memecoins — Official Trump ($TRUMP) (TRUMP-OFFICIAL-USD) and Melania Meme ($MELANIA) (MELANIA-OFFICIAL-USD) — have emerged as unexpected focal points at the intersection of retail speculation and partisan fandom. Both tokens launched on the weekend before Trump's January 20 inauguration, and quickly caught fire across crypto forums and political media alike.
