BiyaPay Analyst: Confluence of Factors, Bitcoin Could Hit All-Time High in May, Market Cap to Surpass $2 Trillion

2025.05.04 18:00:23

Rhythm on May 4th, BiyaPay Analyst: Bitcoin may achieve a historic breakthrough in May and challenge the crucial $100,000 resistance level. The core factors driving this round of the market comprise institutional funds flowing into ETFs, the halving cycle effect, and macroeconomic hedging demands. From April 20th to 26th, the net inflows of Bitcoin spot ETF reached $3.1 billion, setting a weekly record. The size of BlackRock's BIT fund surpassed its gold ETF and became the primary channel for traditional funds to enter. Standard Chartered Bank pointed out that Bitcoin is replacing gold as a new safe haven option, and a significant ETF fund suction effect is forming an "institutional bottom, retail follow-up" pattern. Historical data shows that Bitcoin usually experiences explosive price increases 12 to 18 months after halving. The price after the 2020 halving surged by 536%. Analysts predict that the peak of this cycle will occur in May 2025, with a target price of $156,000. If Bitcoin breaks through $100,000 in May, it may trigger market FOMO sentiment and accelerate the rally. In addition, the weakness of the USD and the risks of U.S. Treasury bonds are also boosting Bitcoin's safe-haven demand. In early April, the market witnessed sharp volatility due to "tariff policy" rumors, demonstrating its sensitivity to macro risks. The derivatives market is showing differentiation. Retail funding rates are becoming more cautious, but the two-month futures premium has risen to 6.5%, and institutions are continuing to accumulate. MicroStrategy increased its Bitcoin holdings by 15,000 BTC during the week at an average price of $92,700, highlighting long-term confidence. Furthermore, technical independence has been strengthened. The correlation between Bitcoin and the S&P 500 has dropped to 29%, enhancing its "digital gold" properties. If ETF inflows continue, it may break through the accumulation phase. If ETF funds shift to outflows, it will test the market's resilience. Analysts suggest that investors focus on on-chain data and institutional trends to avoid chasing prices with high leverage. Currently, the market is waiting for the validation of the key May window, where institutional and cyclical dual forces may reshape the cryptocurrency valuation system.

DeFiLlama: Delays mobile app launch due to phishing apps on the App Store

DeFiLlama founder 0xngmi has revealed that his team delayed the launch of the platform’s official mobile app due to long-running phishing apps impersonating DeFiLlama on Apple’s App Store. The team will not release the official mobile app until all fake apps are taken down, to lower users’ risk of falling victim to scams. In a statement yesterday, 0xngmi said: “For months, we’ve been working to get Apple to remove a fake DeFiLlama app, and have repeatedly reported its trademark infringement and impersonation of our official app to the company. We topped up a small test wallet, downloaded the app, and as expected, all funds in the wallet were stolen. We then reported the incident to Apple, and the app was removed within days. We hope other crypto firms take note of this so they don’t waste time the way we did.”

Frustration among Gulf allies toward the U.S. continues to mount, as concerns grow that Trump lacks the ability to broker a peace agreement.

According to a report by The Washington Post, multiple officials from Arab and Western countries say frustration among U.S. Gulf allies toward the U.S. is steadily rising. Informed officials disclosed that several Gulf nations, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar, have reached a consensus on their dissatisfaction with the Trump administration, with some countries now debating whether it remains necessary to allow the U.S. to maintain large military installations on their territory. Trump has repeatedly threatened in recent times to launch a new round of major strikes against Iran, only to later backtrack on those threats citing progress in negotiations. This has left Gulf countries increasingly concerned that Trump lacks the diplomatic capacity to finalize a peace agreement with Iran.
