Bitcoin hits a new historical high: Excitement in the crypto world after crossing $125,000

Good afternoon, friends, how are you all? Bitcoin has proven once again that it is still the king. In early October 2025, the world's most talked-about digital currency crossed $125,000 for the first time in its 17-year history.



This rise occurred amid a trading volume of more than $50 billion in the past day, where short positions worth about $100 million were liquidated in just one hour. That is, those who invested thinking that the price of Bitcoin would fall were forced to turn to transactions in the opposite direction. In the last 24 hours, this number reached more than $200 million.

However, this price increase is not only the result of a sudden event, but some special economic references have been positive for Bitcoin from the beginning of the year. Inflation, uncertainty about government policy, and interest from institutional investors have contributed to an increase in confidence in bitcoin. Many now see it as a "digital gold", a safe shelter that people can also trust even during economic turmoil.

Meanwhile, Joe D’Pasquale, CEO of Bitbull Capital, said that “prolonged government shutdowns and financial stress are pushing people toward hard assets, which is why demand for Bitcoin is increasing.”

You will be surprised to know that when the price was rising rapidly during the American afternoon trading hours, many traders started selling to take profits, which resulted in the price stabilizing somewhat. But this time, that trend was broken, and Bitcoin surpassed the old high of $124,128 to create a new high.

So now, analysts at the British bank Standard Chartered have been optimistic about Bitcoin for a long time. According to them, this rise will not stop here. Geoff Kendrick, head of the bank's digital assets department, recently mentioned in a report, “In the near future, the price of Bitcoin can go up to at least $135,000, and by the end of the year, it can even cross the $200,000 mark.




Meanwhile, users of the prediction market Myriad, created by Dastan, the parent company of Decrypt, have also made quite accurate predictions. They gave a 90% chance of Bitcoin hitting $125,000 on Friday, and it came true. Now they are also predicting that Bitcoin will outperform Ethereum in October.

Friends, this rise is a symbolic moment for the crypto world. After a long decline, doubts, and uncertainty, this new high for Bitcoin seems to have restored investor confidence.

However, experts have warned that there are risks in the midst of this enthusiasm. The market is still unstable, and even a slight negative effect on price may fall. Therefore, they say, you should definitely do your research and make informed decisions before investing.

To me, this event is not just a numbers game, but an indication of a profound change. In 2009, no one thought that a digital currency would one day reach such heights. Today, it is a symbol not only of technology, but also of human faith, a sign that people are gradually moving towards a decentralized economy.

So in the end, it can be said that we may see more new records in the coming years, and there may be another big crash. But whatever happens, Bitcoin is now at a point where its impact can no longer be ignored.
