What happened
Bitcoin and broader digital assets staged a notable recovery, with Bitcoin rising from US$75,000 to trade above US$87,000, its highest level since January. Total market capitalisation reached US$2.91 trillion, supported by strong exchange-traded fund inflows and ongoing international regulatory updates, despite US legislative delays.
Why it matters here
The rally highlights persistent institutional demand for digital assets despite restrictive central bank policies and elevated global bond yields. For local investors, global market expansion and increased regulatory clarity, such as SEC tokenisation exemptions, provide a backdrop of growing institutional adoption.
What to watch
Weekly institutional spot ETF net inflow numbers and Bitcoin market dominance trends to determine whether the broader digital asset recovery maintains its upward trajectory.
