Bitcoin closes the week at $108 after a new record
- Bitcoin today accumulates a weekly increase of 4%
- Altcoins like HYPE and AAVE stand out this week
- XRP Retreats to $2,3 with 2,8% Drop
Sunday, May 25, 2025 – After a week marked by strong volatility, the price of Bitcoin today remains above US$ 107 thousand this Sunday, May 25, 2025. BTC reached a new all-time high on Thursday, when it reached almost US$ 112 thousand, driven by a buying offensive amid the so-called “Pizza Day”.
The rally began on Sunday night, with a sudden surge from $103 to nearly $107. Despite resistance earlier in the week, bulls regained control on Wednesday, pushing BTC above $109.100 before briefly correcting to $106.500.
The bullish movement resumed the following morning, breaking the $110 barrier and testing new highs. However, the asset suffered a strong impact after statements by US President Donald Trump, who recommended new trade tariffs against the European Union. As a result, Bitcoin lost a few thousand dollars in minutes, stabilizing at the current level.
Even so, BTC accumulates a weekly increase of approximately 4% and maintains its market value close to US$ 2,150 trillion, with dominance above 61% over other cryptocurrencies.
Among the altcoins, the highlight of the week was HYPE, which even after an incident involving the official account on Hyperliquid X, registered a 30% appreciation, reaching a new high. AAVE also stood out with a 19% increase, followed by XMR with 17,7%.
Other assets such as PEPE and BCH also showed positive performance, although with less intensity. On the other hand, SUI has retraced 5% since last Sunday, while XRP fell to US$ 2,3 after falling 2,8% in the week.
The total market value of cryptocurrencies has fallen by around $30 billion in the last 24 hours, and is currently estimated at $3,5 trillion.
