WORLD (Enmaeya News) - October 6, 2025

Bitcoin reached a new record high on Sunday, climbing above $125,000 for the first time, boosted by strong interest in cryptocurrency investment products and a weaker U.S. dollar.

The price of bitcoin rose to $125,245.57, gaining about 2.7% in the past 24 hours. This marks its highest value ever and comes after more than a week of steady gains.

Analysts consider that one of the factors behind this rise is the increased investment in bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which are financial products that allow investors to buy into bitcoin without holding it directly.

At the same time, the U.S. dollar has weakened, which often pushes investors toward alternative assets like bitcoin.

Concerns over a possible government shutdown in the U.S. have also made markets uncertain and left investors looking for safer or more promising investments.

This recent increase shows growing confidence in cryptocurrencies despite ongoing global economic and political uncertainty.

Despite risks of sharp drops, bitcoin has gained over 50% since the start of the year and continues to attract new interest as a potential store of value or hedge against traditional markets.

Analysts and investors are now waiting to see if bitcoin can hold above the $125,000 mark or if this increase will slow down in the coming days.
