Historic breakthrough: Is $120,000 just the starting point?

Bitcoin first surpassed the $120,000 mark on July 14, reaching a high of $122,600, with a monthly increase of over 13%. This is not a coincidence — institutional funds are flooding in at an unprecedented rate:

- The net inflow of Bitcoin ETF in the US reached $1.18 billion in a single day, setting a record for 2025;
- BlackRock's IBIT fund size exceeds $84 billion, crushing the 15-year achievements of gold ETFs;
- Over the past 6 weeks, institutions have aggressively purchased $15 billion in Bitcoin ETFs, while retail investors have collectively missed out.

Three engines driving the bull market

- Policy Dividend: The U.S. House of Representatives is reviewing the "Genius Act" this week, paving the way for stablecoins and digital dollars, with the Trump administration vocally supporting crypto innovation.
- Macroeconomic hedging: The US debt has surpassed the ceiling, and Bitcoin has become a new choice of "digital gold" to hedge against surging inflation demand.
- Supply tightening: Long-term holders have locked 2.5 million BTC, reaching the highest accumulation level since 2024.

Ethereum, DeFi takes the baton? Smart money has already laid out its strategy.

- Ethereum breaks through $3000, but the increase lags behind Bitcoin, and a catch-up rally is about to begin;
- The DeFi leader AAVE surged by 8%, with deposits exceeding 50 billion USD, and the GHO stablecoin becoming the new favorite;
- Solana ecosystem explosion: Kenya's national digital token chooses the SOL chain, with SOL rising over 8% in a single day.

Warning! Two major risks cannot be ignored.

- Short-term pullback signal: CME futures gap not filled, analysts warn of a possible drop to $92,000;
- Federal Reserve policy variables: If interest rates are raised due to the trade war, it may suppress Bitcoin's upward momentum.

Where are the opportunities for sudden wealth?

- RWA (Real World Asset Tokenization): AAVE's Horizon project allows the collateralization of monetary funds for lending.
- Crypto bill beneficiaries: Focus on stablecoin issuers and compliant exchanges;
- New coin speculation: PUMP, WLFI and other high market cap projects may become new funding entry points.

Is it still time to act?

10x Research predicts a year-end target of $140,000 to $160,000, while Bitwise is even more optimistic, forecasting $200,000—but remember, bull markets often see sharp declines, so avoid going all-in!
