Bitcoin rose to $ 105,600

Bitcoin BTC $104,378.37 Bitcoin 0.46% Market capitalization $2.07 trillion VOL. 24 hours $2.34 billion has once again surpassed the $ 100,000 mark. The growth of the flagship crypto market has intensified discussions of a possible increase in its value to 500 thousand within the current cycle.

As of May 13, 2025, the bitcoin exchange rate was about $ 105,600, which is 1.62% higher than the previous day. Trading activity has increased significantly: the daily volume of transactions amounted to more than $ 54 billion, and bitcoin’s market share reached 63.9% of the total crypto sector capitalization, which now exceeds $ 3 trillion.

According to the analytical service CryptoQuant, the Realized Cap indicator, the aggregate valuation of all coins at the last move price, has been updating historical highs for the third week in a row. Since April 1, it has grown from $ 800 billion to $ 890 billion. The main contribution to this was made by wallets with volumes of 10 to 10,000 BTC, which have accumulated more than 81,000 bitcoins since the end of March.

Analyst Max Kaiser believes that the bitcoin rate could reach $ 500,000 if current macroeconomic conditions, including the US Federal Reserve’s looser monetary policy, continue. At the same time, his earlier forecasts did not always come true: the levels of $ 220,000 and $ 120,000 expected in 2024−2025 were not reached by the respective deadlines.

Additional estimates of the asset’s value were voiced by other market participants. Arthur Hayes from BitMEX suggests an increase to $ 150 thousand, and former Binance exchange head Чанпен Чжао" href="https://noworries.news/biography/chanpen-chzhao/" data-bio-id="3681">Changpeng Zhao — up to half a million or even a million dollars per coin. The discussion of prospects is ongoing, but the next stage of the market, as noted in the reports, is to consolidate bitcoin above the psychological mark of 100 thousand.
