Bitcoin surged more than 6% to nearly $69,000, driven by lower U.S. Treasury yields, a weaker dollar, and renewed institutional demand for Bitcoin ETFs. The dollar index fell 0.3%, improving conditions for risk assets like Bitcoin. Institutional inflows into Bitcoin ETFs reached nearly $487 million over two days, supporting the rally. Market attention now focuses on the Federal Reserve's July meeting minutes, which could influence Bitcoin's next move depending on the tone regarding future rate hikes. Regulatory developments and potential short squeezes also contributed to the price surge.
