Bitcoin hit a record high of nearly $109,500, driven by recent regulatory developments and policy enthusiasm.
The surge is attributed to the proposed legislation regulating the stablecoin market and the acceptance of bitcoin by governments and institutions.
Companies like GameStop and Tesla investing in bitcoin to hedge against inflation and a broader rally in risk assets also boosted its appeal.
Bulls expect Bitcoin to climb higher, with projections suggesting it might reach $120,000 in the second quarter and potentially surge to $300,000 by the end of June.
