Bitcoin Hits $110k: What It Means for Investors at Extreme Investor Network

XRP Continues Its Surge

June 9 saw XRP extending its recent gains, a promising sign for those invested in altcoins. For an in-depth analysis of XRP’s trajectory, check out our full forecast.

Bitcoin Surges to $110k Amid US-China Trade Optimism

In an exciting turn of events, Bitcoin (BTC) reclaimed the $110,000 mark for the first time since late May. This surge is largely attributed to renewed optimism surrounding the US-China trade talks, which have significantly bolstered the demand for cryptocurrencies. The collective market capitalization of cryptocurrencies soared to a remarkable $3.4 trillion, marking a June high.

Negotiations resumed on June 9 following a lull in discussions. Reports indicate that China has granted rare earth mineral export permits to US auto suppliers, signaling a potential thaw in relations. The talks lasted six hours and are set to resume on June 10.

Rising Demand for US Bitcoin-Spot ETFs

The sentiment around Bitcoin spot ETFs also witnessed a revival, ending a short streak of outflows. According to data from Farside Investors, key trends for June 9 are noteworthy:

• Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC): Net inflows of $173 million.
• Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB): Net inflows of $68.5 million.
• ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB): Net inflows of $10.8 million.

In total, US Bitcoin spot ETFs experienced inflows of $265.3 million, reversing a previous outflow of $131.6 million reported for the week ending June 6.

Nate Garaci, President of ETF Store, highlighted the impressive performance of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), stating:

“IBIT hits $70 billion in 341 trading days. No other ETF even comes close. And remember, there are 11 other spot ETFs—overall, this category stands at nearly $125 billion.”

Bloomberg Intelligence’s Senior ETF Analyst, Eric Balchunas, underscored the impact of the BTC spot ETF market on investor sentiment, remarking:

"When BlackRock filed for IBIT, Bitcoin’s price was at $30k; now it’s $110k—a sevenfold return compared to the S&P 500."

BTC Price Forecast: Factors to Watch

On June 9, Bitcoin surged by 4.22%, closing at $110,252 after a modest gain over the weekend. The forthcoming price trend is contingent on various factors, including legislative developments, upcoming US inflation data, trade talks with China, and ETF flows.

Potential Scenarios:

• Bearish Scenario: Renewed trade tensions, legislative hurdles, rising inflation, and ETF outflows could push Bitcoin toward its 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and $100,000.

• Bullish Scenario: A fruitful US-China trade deal, bipartisan crypto legislation support, declining inflation, and strong ETF inflows could propel Bitcoin toward its previous all-time high of $111,917.

Key legislative measures to keep an eye on include the GENIUS Act, the CLARITY Act, and the Bitcoin Act. If the GENIUS and CLARITY Acts secure passage, the focus may shift back to the Bitcoin Act, which Senator Cynthia Lummis reintroduced in 2025, proposing that the US government acquire one million BTC over five years with a 20-year mandatory holding period.

In a recent statement, White House AI and Crypto Czar David Sachs mentioned:

“The GENIUS Act is one step closer to passage, a huge milestone for the crypto community.”
