Bitcoin Soars Near Record as Zuckerberg and Trump Fuel Crypto Surge

Bitcoin Approaches Record Highs as Tim Draper Predicts Dollar Replacement Amid Renewed Crypto Optimism

  • Bitcoin prices have surged, returning near all-time highs after a previous drop.
  • Prominent investor Tim Draper predicts bitcoin could outpace the U.S. dollar as the primary means of holding wealth.
  • Recent market moves are driven by policy expectations and support from figures like Donald Trump, as well as technical market dynamics.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency prices have sharply increased in recent weeks, nearly recovering from a decline in April. The renewed rally has pushed bitcoin’s value above $104,000, approaching its historic peak. This sharp movement comes amid reports of increased attention from high-profile technology leaders and speculation about possible major announcements involving cryptocurrency.

According to Forbes, bitcoin prices have benefited from interest among Wall Street companies, who are reportedly betting on a bitcoin rally ahead of upcoming U.S. presidential developments. The total crypto market value has grown to roughly $3.5 trillion as a result of the latest rebound. Analysts attributed this climb to both technical factors and broader financial trends.

Billionaire investor Tim Draper predicted that bitcoin could eventually reach “infinity” against the dollar if the U.S. currency continues to weaken due to inflation. Draper told Coindesk, "There won’t be a dollar," and added, "The dollar will be replaced by bitcoin in 10 years, something like that. It may be a little less." Draper also reiterated his forecast that bitcoin could reach $250,000 by the end of 2025 before rising much further in the long term.

Draper explained that bitcoin’s supply is fixed at 21 million coins, making it less vulnerable to inflation compared to traditional currencies and stablecoins, which are tied to official currencies. He said, “Stablecoins are subject to inflation. They will inflate if the government prints too much money. They will be worth less and less and less over time, whereas bitcoin is not subject to that.”

Further driving optimism, recent policies from U.S. leadership have supported the cryptocurrency sector. President Donald Trump has identified himself as a supporter of cryptocurrencies, launching a U.S. bitcoin strategic reserve and promoting regulation for dollar-backed stablecoins. According to Forbes, Trump has described himself as the first “crypto president” and taken steps to integrate stablecoins into the U.S. financial system.

Other market experts also noted technical trends. Markus Thielen, CEO of 10x Research, said in a note, "Bitcoin is poised to break above $106,000. But this isn’t just about technicals—several powerful catalysts are aligning." Alex Kuptsikevich, chief market analyst at FxPro, added, “Bitcoin has been hovering around the $104,000 level for the sixth day, experiencing increased rotation…as we approach the all-time highs of December and January, which served as turning points.”

Traders and investors continue to track the flow of institutional capital into bitcoin, especially through exchange-traded funds (ETFs), as new political and economic policies unfold. The landscape remains volatile, with the potential for further large price movements in the crypto market.
