Bitcoin eased modestly on Monday, retreating from a fresh all-time high above $125,000, though strong institutional inflows into U.S. spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and uncertainty surrounding Washington\u2019s prolonged government shutdown continued to underpin sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The world\u2019s largest cryptocurrency was last down 1.6% at $123,716.7<\/strong> as of 01:50 ET (05:50 GMT), after peaking at $125,617.4<\/strong> on Sunday \u2014 its highest level on record. Despite the slight pullback, Bitcoin remains up more than 11% for the week<\/strong> and over 30% since the start of 2025<\/strong>, cementing its dominance in the digital asset market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Data from SoSoValue revealed $3.24 billion<\/strong> in net inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs last week \u2014 the strongest weekly figure this year. The influx reflects renewed interest from institutional investors seeking exposure to digital assets through regulated instruments instead of direct holdings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The move coincides with mounting concerns over the U.S. government shutdown<\/strong>, now in its second week, which has delayed key economic data and stoked uncertainty about fiscal policy. Traders speculate that the Federal Reserve<\/strong> could adopt a more cautious approach on interest rates once operations resume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Analysts have described this rotation into Bitcoin and gold as a \u201cdebasement trade\u201d<\/strong> \u2014 a defensive strategy against potential erosion of fiat value and growing fiscal stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In corporate developments, Walmart\u2019s fintech venture OnePay<\/strong>, majority-owned by Walmart (NYSE:WMT) and Ribbit Capital, plans to introduce cryptocurrency trading and custody<\/strong> services within its digital banking app later this year, according to CNBC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Partnering with crypto infrastructure provider Zerohash<\/strong>, OnePay aims to let users trade Bitcoin and Ethereum<\/strong>, marking a significant step toward building an all-inclusive digital finance \u201csuper app.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following Bitcoin\u2019s lead, major altcoins showed muted moves on Monday after a week of strong gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite the minor correction, analysts maintain that the overall sentiment remains positive, with Bitcoin\u2019s ETF momentum and macroeconomic uncertainty creating a supportive backdrop for the broader crypto market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bitcoin eased modestly on Monday, retreating from a fresh all-time high above $125,000, though strong institutional inflows into U.S. spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and uncertainty surrounding Washington\u2019s prolonged government shutdown continued to underpin sentiment.
