CoinDesk Exclusive: Bitcoin Surges Past $110,000 as ETF Inflows Ignite Institutional Frenzy
New York, June 18, 2025 — Bitcoin (BTC) has rocketed to a new multi-month high, trading around $110,700, as institutional investors pour billions into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs. BlackRock’s IBIT ETF alone attracted a staggering $1.1 billion in inflows last week, according to Farside Investors, signaling renewed confidence in the world’s largest cryptocurrency.
ETF Mania Fuels Market Optimism
The latest rally comes amid heightened anticipation over U.S. consumer price index (CPI) data and speculation about the Federal Reserve’s next move. While fears of tighter monetary policy persist, the sheer scale of ETF inflows has overshadowed macroeconomic concerns. “We’re seeing a classic case of institutional FOMO,” said Rachel Kim, senior analyst at Galaxy Digital. “ETFs are now the primary gateway for large-scale capital to enter the crypto market.”
Technicals and Sentiment Point Higher
Social media buzz, especially on X (formerly Twitter), highlights Bitcoin’s momentum, with traders eyeing the critical $112,000 resistance. A breakout could pave the way for a run to $120,000, while some analysts predict a year-end target as high as $180,000–$250,000. “The global crypto market cap is now flirting with $3.3 trillion,” noted Kim, “and Bitcoin is leading the charge.”
What’s Next?
With futures open interest at record highs and ETF-driven demand showing no signs of abating, the narrative of institutional adoption is stronger than ever. As BlackRock, Fidelity, and other giants continue to accumulate BTC, the stage is set for further upside—potentially rewriting the history books by the end of 2025.
