Roshan Roberts, CEO of OKX US , argued that “Bitcoin is showing why it’s in a class of its own. As trade tensions flare and altcoins stumble, institutions are treating BTC as a macro hedge and a maturing asset class.” Roberts says that “July will test markets, but Bitcoin looks built for it.” Additionally, Mauricio Di Bartolomeo, co-founder and CSO of Ledn , said that BTC’s surge is the result of “relentless demand from investors and corporations.” In the last 30 days alone, at least 21 companies have announced new plans to raise and deploy an estimated $3.5 billion into their BTC treasuries, he says. They have bought 6,745 BTC, which is some 20% of their planned purchases. He added that “there is still a lot of money sidelined and waiting to be deployed. If this trend continues, we may see Bitcoin price move much higher from here,” Di Bartolomeo argued. Meanwhile, analysts are debating if we’re about to see an actual breakout or not. As the coin stopped just shy of breaking the high, there may be a pullback next. Overall, many still argue that new all-time highs are near. $BTC Plan for me is straight forward here. Either: A) We’re about to see a *true* breakout. In which case we see acceptance above this range (daily close above, time and space, any re-tests are support, etc). In which case I will look to trade *with* the trend, with targets… pic.twitter.com/8Cu5R05we9 — CJ (@CJ900X) July 9, 2025 Additionally, onchain data and intelligence platform Glassnode noted that Bitcoin RHODL Ratio (which compares the realized value of Bitcoin held by different investor age groups) “turned upwards.” It reached its highest level in this cycle on Wednesday, signaling a shift, with single-cycle holders holding more wealth. “Historically, such turns mark transitions in market cycles and cooling speculative momentum,” Glassnode says. #Bitcoin RHODL Ratio has turned upwards – reaching its highest level in this cycle. This signals a shift: more wealth is held by single cycle holders, while 1d–3m activity stays low.

Yesterday, the price surged to the monthly high of $111,742, nearing the all-time high of $111,814, before settling on the current level. The next level to keep an eye on is $110,550. BTC holding this level firmly would validate the latest breakout. A drop below and towards the $109,850 level could lead to additional falls. That said, the coin may also retest the $112,000 zone.

Fidelity , Grayscale , Bitwise , Valkyrie , and Invesco also saw positive flows between $2 million and $16 million.

Meanwhile, during a 9 July hearing, US Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott urged the lawmakers in that country to advance key crypto market structure legislation . “Today’s hearing is the first full committee hearing on digital assets,” Scott said. “This is a crucial step toward developing a comprehensive framework that gives innovators the clarity they need and gives investors the protections they deserve.” He continued: “Make no mistake: blockchain technology and digital assets are not going away – they are here to stay.” Additionally, Elizabeth Warren, Ranking Member of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, proposed her crypto market legislation framework during this hearing. She devised a list of five priorities to “guide” the legislative process while developing crypto policy. Quick FAQ Why did crypto move with stocks today?
