Bitcoin reached a fresh record high above $111,000 on Thursday, fueled by optimism over U.S. regulatory developments. The cryptocurrency climbed 4.6% to $111,430, surpassing its previous record of $109,000. This marks an 18% gain for Bitcoin in May alone.

The rally is attributed to the advancement of the GENIUS Act, which aims to establish a national framework for stablecoins. The legislation, expected to enhance legal clarity and encourage institutional adoption, is set for a Senate floor vote. The Trump administration’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve has further boosted market confidence.

Institutional demand continues to grow, with U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs seeing $609 million in net inflows on Wednesday. BlackRock’s IBIT led with $530.6 million, while Fidelity, Bitwise, and Grayscale also reported significant gains. Total trading volume across Bitcoin ETFs reached $7.64 billion, the highest since late February.

Major financial institutions like JPMorgan, Fidelity, and BlackRock are expanding their crypto offerings, signaling a shift in Wall Street’s stance. Coinbase’s inclusion in the S&P 500 and increased adoption of Bitcoin as a long-term asset further underscore the growing legitimacy of digital assets.

Altcoins also benefited from Bitcoin’s rally, with Ethereum, XRP, Solana, Cardano, and Polygon posting gains of 5-8%. Meme tokens like Dogecoin and $TRUMP also saw significant increases, reflecting broader market enthusiasm.
