Bitcoin Hits $105K; More Growth Expected

2025-05-20 | 5m
Bitcoin rose to over $105,000 on Monday, bouncing back after a dip earlier in the day. The drop followed Moody’s downgrade of the U.S. government’s credit rating, which briefly unsettled financial markets. However, experts believe this downgrade won’t have lasting effects on prices. Other cryptocurrencies also recovered slightly, with Ether climbing above $2,500 and Aave performing well, although many still showed small losses.
The U.S. stock market also turned around, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq recovering after a weak start. The bond market saw some pressure, especially on long-term Treasury yields, but analysts say the downgrade wasn’t a surprise and won’t likely change long-term investment trends.
Meanwhile, digital investment firm 21Shares believes Bitcoin could rise even higher this year, possibly reaching $138,500 — a 35% increase from current levels. This growth isn’t driven by everyday buyers but by large institutions and limited supply. More Bitcoin is being bought than mined, and major companies and even governments are starting to hold Bitcoin as a reserve. These trends suggest a more mature and stable rise in value rather than a short-term frenzy.
