2. Bitcoin Climbs to $110,000 as Inflation Cools
Bitcoin rose toward $110,000 after U.S. inflation slowed to 2.4% in May, beating forecasts and boosting hopes for Federal Reserve rate cuts. However, experts warn of volatility if future economic data disappoints. The price surge reflects growing investor confidence in Bitcoin as a hedge against economic uncertainty. Analysts predict continued institutional buying could push prices higher in the short term. Some market observers attribute the rally to renewed optimism around pro-crypto policies.

3. Crypto Funds Hit Record Highs
Assets in crypto funds reached an all-time high in May as investors diversified amid easing trade tensions. Bitcoin outperformed global equities, gaining 15% over three months compared to the MSCI World Index’s 3.6% rise. This growth underscores crypto’s increasing appeal as a mainstream asset class. Institutional investors are driving much of the inflow, particularly into Bitcoin and Ethereum funds. The trend signals a maturing market with broader acceptance among traditional investors.
