Islamabad, Aug 14, 2025: Bitcoin surged to a new all-time high on Thursday as growing expectations of easier US Federal Reserve policies fueled the rally, alongside recent government moves to ease crypto investment.
The world’s top cryptocurrency climbed as much as 0.9% to $124,002 in early Asia trading, surpassing its July peak. Ether, the second-largest token, also touched $4,780, marking its highest level since late 2021.
Analysts point to multiple factors behind Bitcoin’s momentum, including stronger institutional buying and regulatory reforms under the Trump administration. IG Market analyst Tony Sycamore noted that “a sustained break above $125,000 could drive Bitcoin to $150,000.”
The crypto sector has gained nearly 32% in 2025, powered by long-awaited regulatory wins. A recent executive order allows crypto assets in 401(k) retirement accounts, creating a more supportive environment for digital currencies. Other U.S. developments include stablecoin regulations and moves by the securities regulator to accommodate crypto markets.

The surge in Bitcoin has lifted the overall crypto market, which now stands above $4.18 trillion, up from $2.5 trillion in November 2024. This renewed adoption also presents opportunities for asset managers like BlackRock and Fidelity, which operate crypto exchange-traded funds.
While the inclusion of cryptocurrencies in retirement savings could attract investors, experts warn of higher volatility compared to traditional stocks and bonds. Despite this, Bitcoin continues to draw attention as a lucrative and increasingly mainstream asset.
