Bitcoin has set a new all-time record. On Sunday, October 5, data from leading exchanges — Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken — showed that the world’s first cryptocurrency surpassed the $125,000 mark for the first time in history.
According to Binance, the intraday peak reached $125,504, while Coinbase recorded a high of $125,245, and Kraken — $125,120. Data from CoinDesk indicate that at one point, Bitcoin briefly hit $125,708 during trading.
As reported by Reuters, this new milestone comes amid growing demand from institutional investors and continued inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs. Over the past three days, these instruments have attracted more than $3.2 billion.
Experts note that since the start of the year, Bitcoin’s value has risen by more than 60%, including a 12% increase over the past month alone. Bitcoin’s current market capitalization has exceeded $2.4 trillion, setting a new record for the global crypto market.
Analysts attribute the latest surge to lower interest rates in the United States and expectations of further monetary policy easing by the Federal Reserve.
The market remains highly volatile: after reaching its peak, BTC prices retreated slightly to the $124,800–$124,900 range but continue to trade above the historic threshold.
Experts predict that if Bitcoin consolidates above $125,000, it could pave the way toward the next psychological level — $130,000.
