Bitcoin surged to a record high of $109,302 following the progress of stablecoin legislation in the US, increasing hopes for regulatory clarity during the Trump administration.
The cryptocurrency market rallied due to regulatory tailwinds, including the advancement of the stablecoin bill in the US Senate after a group of Democrats withdrew their opposition.
The industry-backed regulatory bill with revised terms, including stricter measures against money laundering and improved consumer protections, aims to impose consistent rules on domestic and foreign issuers.
Open interest for Bitcoin futures at CME Group Inc. has rebounded by 23%, and investors have allocated approximately $3.6 billion into US Bitcoin exchange-traded funds in May.
