Bitcoin surged past $111,000 for the first time, reaching a record of $111,878 before a slight decrease.
The rally is fueled by growing institutional demand, support from Donald Trump's administration, and the advancement of a stablecoin bill in the US Senate.
Entities like Michael Saylor's Strategy and SPACs are driving the rally, with Bitcoin outperforming smaller cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin's latest milestone coincides with rising cultural visibility, as Trump meets with memecoin holders, but has not significantly impacted market dynamics.
