Bitcoin has surged to a new all-time high of $109,486, driven by significant inflows into spot exchange-traded funds and positive regulatory developments in the U.S. Analysts believe this rally is more sustainable than previous ones due to favorable market conditions and a lack of speculative enthusiasm.

Japan is reclassifying certain cryptocurrencies to align them with their legal framework, which may facilitate the approval of cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the country. Additionally, there is a proposed shift in tax regulations that could impact crypto investments, making the environment more favorable for both investors and companies in the crypto sector.
