The bitcoin exchange rate has set a new historical high, exceeding the mark of $ 124.48 thousand. This is evidenced by data from Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange, published on the morning of October 5, 2025. At the moment, the price of the first cryptocurrency reached $125.18 thousand, which became an absolute record in the entire history of its existence.
The exchange rate increased by about 2% per day. The previous high was recorded on August 14, 2025, when the value of bitcoin briefly rose to $124.47 thousand. Experts attribute the new jump to a change in the policy of the US Federal Reserve System, which in September lowered its key rate by 25 basis points to 4-4.25%. This decision stimulated investors' interest in risky assets, including cryptocurrencies.
Igor Rastorguev, a leading analyst at AMarkets, notes that the current strengthening of bitcoin is a natural result of a combination of macroeconomic factors, a weakening dollar and growing confidence in digital assets. According to him, expectations of further rate cuts from the Fed and the influx of institutional investors create a favorable background for the market.
An additional driver of growth was the news about the expansion of the number of countries ready to integrate cryptocurrency assets into national payment systems and use blockchain technologies in the financial sector. There is also an increase in demand for bitcoin from funds working with digital ETFs.
Despite the record figures, experts warn that the market remains highly volatile and corrections are possible. However, the long-term trend points to the strengthening of bitcoin's position as a key instrument of the digital economy.
Against the background of the historical maximum update, the capitalization of the cryptocurrency market exceeded $3 trillion, and the share of bitcoin in the total market structure reached 52%. In the coming weeks, analysts predict a further upward movement if favorable macroeconomic conditions persist.
