This wave of rise coincided with the 'Crypto Week' in the U.S., where ETF machine buying and a friendly regulatory atmosphere worked together, allowing digital assets to officially step onto the mainstream stage. Ranking reshuffle: Bitcoin's market coordinate at 2.4 trillion USD hit a historic peak of 122,600 USD, with a market capitalization of 2.4 trillion USD, crossing Amazon's 2.3 trillion USD and silver's 2.2 trillion USD, and even surpassing Alphabet's 2.19 trillion USD. It is only 7.3 billion USD away from Apple, which is ranked fourth, highlighting that digital assets have risen to a globally significant allocation. Fund influx: ETF and corporate financial reports boost momentum. Data from Farside Investors shows that the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF has recorded net inflows for seven consecutive trading days, with a single-day peak of 1.18 billion USD; the 18-month accumulated AUM has surpassed 150 billion USD, supported by statistics from U.Today. ETF holdings account for about 6.6% of Bitcoin's total supply, while public company holdings are around 4%, together tightening market circulation. MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor mentioned in a financial report meeting: 'Bitcoin is digital gold, the preferred choice for long-term reserve assets for companies.' Japan's Metaplanet is also following suit, increasing its holdings to strengthen its balance sheet. Policy tailwind: Trump's 'Crypto Week' releases regulatory benefits. Investing.com points out that during 'Crypto Week', the U.S. Congress reviewed bills such as the GENIUS Act, CLARITY Act, and Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, attempting to provide a clear framework for blockchain innovation and encrypted assets. The Trump administration has taken an open stance since taking office and is considering incorporating Bitcoin into strategic reserves, adding momentum to market sentiment. High position risks: Correction shadows still loom. Nasdaq's column reminds that Bitcoin has historically experienced drastic pullbacks; macro factors such as interest rates, inflation, and geopolitical conflicts may still cause fluctuations. Optimists expect price impacts to reach 145,000 USD, while pessimists warn of a possible retracement to 100,000 USD. Investors should be cautious in their allocation, placing risk management ahead of price imagination. Bitcoin has risen to become the fifth largest asset globally within a week, establishing a position for digital assets in the traditional financial landscape. If ETF inflows and favorable policies continue, the gap from Apple may further narrow; however, high volatility remains an unexploded bomb, often coexisting with market glory and corrections.
