Bitcoin’s reputation as a shield against economic and political turmoil is gaining traction, according to a new report by QCP Capital.
The trading firm highlighted a noticeable surge in bullish options activity last Friday, signaling rising investor confidence in further Bitcoin price gains.
Specifically, traders snapped up more than 500 contracts betting on Bitcoin hitting $104,000 by May 30 and over 800 contracts targeting $135,000 by late June. QCP analysts pointed out that this level of call option interest suggests expectations of continued upside.
Unlike previous speculative-driven rallies, QCP emphasized that the current Bitcoin uptrend appears rooted in solid macroeconomic concerns — particularly rising geopolitical tensions and mounting uncertainty around global monetary policies.
Bitcoin’s recovery has been impressive, recently climbing back above $95,000. The asset’s behavior has increasingly mirrored that of traditional safe-haven assets like gold, fueled by consistent inflows into Bitcoin ETFs.
The growing demand for bullish Bitcoin options also coincides with broader market instability, as investors react to trade tariffs, shifting central bank strategies, and election-year volatility by turning to decentralized assets.
Michael Saylor, chairman of MicroStrategy and one of Bitcoin’s most outspoken corporate champions, has once again underscored his belief in the cryptocurrency’s long-term potential—this time with data to back it up.
Bitcoin’s historic surge past $111,000 this week has reignited speculation over just how far the rally could go—some analysts are now eyeing $200,000 by the end of 2025.
A new analysis by Bitwise Asset Management and UTXO Management suggests Bitcoin is entering a new era of institutional dominance, with capital inflows projected to exceed $400 billion by the close of 2026.
Trading activity in U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs just hit a new high for 2025, marking a major milestone in institutional crypto adoption.
