Bitcoin surpasses $113,000 as investors embrace risk assets and liquidate shorts, driving record highs in cryptocurrency prices.

Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of $113,459.16 on Thursday, surpassing its previous record set just a day earlier.

The cryptocurrency increased by approximately 2% during the day, peaking at $113,863.18.

A total of around $318 million in short positions were liquidated on centralised exchanges within 24 hours, according to CoinGlass.

When traders short bitcoin and its price rises, they must buy back bitcoin to close their positions, contributing to further price increases.

Other cryptocurrencies also experienced gains, with Ether and Solana each rising by over 2%.

Tokens like Dogecoin and Cardano’s asset advanced by more than 5%, while XRP and Litecoin increased by 3%.

Bitcoin-related stocks saw similar growth, with mining companies Mara Holdings and Riot Platforms rising over 2%, and trading platforms Coinbase and Robinhood advancing by 4%.

Despite recent volatility, Bitcoin has maintained a price above $100,000 for over 60 consecutive days, aided by substantial inflows into bitcoin exchange-traded funds.

Public companies have also significantly increased their bitcoin purchases, outpacing ETF inflows in the second quarter.

The rally began as investors shifted to a risk-on approach, boosting the technology-focused Nasdaq Composite and positively impacting cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin dips below $90K to $88,785 as investor confidence wanes amid rising market volatility and economic uncertainty.

Bitcoin has dropped below the $90,000 mark, falling to around $88,785 as investor confidence wobbles and market volatility intensifies.

As economic uncertainty grows, investors are questioning whether Bitcoin can truly act as a safe haven during times of stress, with many instead treating it as a high-risk asset.

The sell-off highlights a widening gap between crypto optimism and real-world risk aversion as capital rotates away from digital assets.

Bitcoin nears $94,000 in 2026, driven by strong demand despite weak U.S. manufacturing, says expert Oz Sultan.

Bitcoin has surged to nearly $94,000 in 2026, defying weak U.S. manufacturing data and reflecting strong investor demand. Experts say macroeconomic conditions, including risk asset performance and U.S. market dynamics, have played a key role in the rally.

Oz Sultan from Sultan Interactive Group explains what factors contributed to Bitcoin’s record-breaking rise, how the ISM PMI below expectations impacted market sentiment, and the significance of the Coinbase Bitcoin Premium for U.S. demand.

Investors are now weighing the implications of this surge for the broader economy, historical trends, and long-term momentum. Strategies for navigating economic contraction and the correlation between Bitcoin and traditional risk assets are also explored.

Morgan Stanley has officially entered the US crypto ETF market with filings for Bitcoin, Solana, and Ethereum exchange-traded products. This marks the bank’s first direct push into digital assets, signalling a broad strategy rather than a single-product experiment.

The filings detail that the Solana ETF will include a staking component, allowing investors to earn yield from network participation. Each trust will hold the underlying crypto assets and will be managed by Morgan Stanley Investment Management, according to regulatory documents.

This move comes amid growing competition in the traditional asset management sector, as Morgan Stanley continues to expand crypto access for clients. Last year, the bank opened limited exposure to digital assets through its wealth management division, and now it is taking a more comprehensive approach.
