Bitcoin over $112,000: Investors celebrate record price!

On July 10, 2025, the Bitcoin price passed a historic milestone and reached the $112,000 mark for the first time. According to Stern reports, a record high of $112,040 was recorded on Wednesday evening, followed by a slight decline to around $111,300. This positive price development is particularly fueled by optimistic expectations regarding trade relations between the USA and other countries.

Timo Emden, an analyst at Emden Research, points to investors' increased risk appetite as an important factor influencing the price increase. Additionally, Lukas Enzersdorfer Konrad, Deputy CEO of Bitpanda, emphasizes that favorable macroeconomic conditions and growing interest from institutional investors are driving the increase.

Institutional demand and market forecasts

Further developments in the market support the continued rise of the cryptocurrency. According to Coinkurier, Bitcoin has seen a remarkable 62 percent increase since its last record high four months ago. Experts are optimistic and predict that the Bitcoin price could potentially rise to as much as $173,000 if the current record high is sustainably overcome.

The increasing demand for ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) for Bitcoin and Ethereum shows how institutional investors such as BlackRock and Fidelity are entering the market. BlackRock acquired 17,808 ETH for $46 million, while Fidelity purchased 220.79 BTC worth $23.5 million. Such investments are also contributing to the rally.

Courses and technical developments

The price of Ethereum is currently over $2,600, after temporarily falling below $2,000. However, Ethereum is battling significant resistance with price targets ranging from $12,000 to $15,000 if it manages a breakout above the 200-day line. At the same time, Bitcoin is currently trading well above the $111,000 mark and has cast it in a new light as the first and best-known representative of cryptocurrencies. For euro investors, the all-time high is 105,495 euros, while the current price is around 95,000 euros due to the weakness of the dollar.

Regulatory developments in the US, which are seen as further driving market movements, could also have long-term effects. However, buyers need to be aware of high volatility and technical warning signs that pose increased risk. Nevertheless, social sentiment for Ethereum remains high with an index of 69 (“Greed”), indicating potentially overheated market sentiment.

Since its introduction in 2009 by an unknown person or group under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin has experienced many ups and downs as a decentralized currency managed by a global computer network. With a set maximum number of 21 million Bitcoins, inflation is avoided, which contributes to the value of the cryptocurrency.
