Bitcoin Rises Amid ETF Optimism, Outperforming S and P 500

Edited by: Yuliya Shumai

Bitcoin's value has surged, driving up Ether and Dogecoin, signaling renewed crypto demand. Bitcoin is up approximately 15% in 2025, significantly exceeding the S&P 500's 1% gain. It is also 55% higher than its value a year ago, demonstrating resilience despite market volatility.

Analysts indicate that upcoming SEC and CFTC regulations for spot-Bitcoin ETFs could attract institutional investment. Marathon Digital and Riot Platforms also experienced rallies. This reflects expectations that new funds will increase network fees and hash-rate economics.

Traditional investors are showing increased interest, with yesterday's equity and bond sell-offs having minimal impact on crypto appetite. This suggests Bitcoin is becoming less correlated with broader market trends. Regulatory clarity and new all-time highs for Bitcoin could lead to wider adoption and a fundamental shift in investor perception of crypto.
