Bitcoin hit a new all-time high on Sunday, surpassing $125,000 and setting a fresh record for the world’s largest cryptocurrency, according to AFP. The milestone comes after its previous peak of $124,500 in August. Analysts attribute the surge to investor caution over a possible U.S. government shutdown, increased interest in safe-haven assets, and recent gains in U.S. stock markets. Bloomberg reports that supportive regulatory moves — including three major crypto bills passed by the U.S. House in July — and strong backing from President Donald Trump have boosted confidence in the digital asset market. Experts say Bitcoin’s momentum reflects growing investor optimism amid broader financial uncertainty.
