Bitcoin has once again made history in the world's most popular and largest cryptocurrency. On Friday, October 5, Bitcoin broke all previous records to $ 1,25,689 (approx. 1,11,58,000). This is its high level so far. Previously Bitcoin set a record of $ 1,24,500 (Rs 1,10,47,000) in August 2025.
This new boom in Bitcoin has once again attracted the attention of global investors. According to the Bloomberg report, the US government's shutdown has turned investors to alternative investment routes rather than traditional markets. According to the report, the US government's partial closure not only affected Wall Street but investors have also turned to the crypto market to protect their capital.
According to CoinMarketcap data, Bitcoin rose 2.04 percent to $ 1,25,700 (Rs 1,11,60,000) in the last 24 hours. However, by 1:10 pm, it dropped slightly to $ 1,24,710 (Rs 1,10,76,000). Nevertheless, its market cap has reached more than ₹ 2,20,00,000 crore. Interestingly, despite the price hike, investors have chosen to hold it instead of selling Bitcoin.
In the last 24 hours, its trading volume was $ 57.94 billion (Rs 5.14 lakh crore), which is about 29 percent less than the previous day. This suggests that the market is running but investors are holding it for a long time. In addition, expectations of interest rate reduction by the US Federal Reserve in October have also supported Bitcoin prices.
There was also a slight increase in other cryptocurrency Ethereum (ether). It increased 0.49 percent to $ 4,584.19 or approximately Rs. 4,07,000. XRP rose 0.61 percent to $ 3.05, Tather remained stable around $ 1, and Benance Coin (BNB) rose 0.43 percent to $ 1,175.34 (₹ 1,04,300).
