Bitcoin set a new price record of $108,135 on Tuesday morning in New York, marking its third consecutive day of all-time highs amid strong institutional demand through newly launched exchange-traded funds and potential government initiatives.

The leading cryptocurrency settled at $107,020 after the peak, showing a modest 0.3% increase over 24 hours while maintaining a robust 12% gain for the week, according to CoinGecke data.

ETF Inflows Accelerate

Institutional investment continues to drive the market momentum, with U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracting more than $600 million in a single day.

The ten approved funds, which began trading on major stock exchanges, have seen record-breaking inflows as traditional investors seek cryptocurrency exposure through regulated vehicles.

Market sentiment received an additional boost from political developments, as President-elect Donald Trump‘s supportive stance on digital assets influenced investor confidence. Trump’s statement at a recent conference advising “never sell your Bitcoin” has sparked speculation about potential government involvement in the cryptocurrency sector.

Altcoin Market Dynamics

The broader cryptocurrency market showed mixed performance:

  • XRP rose 6% to $2.63, responding to Ripple’s new RLUSD stablecoin launch
  • Stellar (XLM) increased 5% to $0.44
  • Bonk, a Solana-based token, gained 4% to reach $0.000036
  • Exchange tokens Bitget Token (BGB) and Cronos (CRO) both advanced 11%

Despite recent gains, both XRP and Stellar remain below their 2018 peak levels. XRP briefly touched $2.82 earlier this month, representing a seven-year high, but failed to sustain those levels.

The market now focuses on the potential establishment of a U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve, which would mirror existing government holdings of traditional assets like Gold. Such an initiative could significantly impact institutional adoption and price dynamics in the cryptocurrency market.
