The world’s largest cryptocurrency has rallied over 8% in the last 24-hours on the back of various traditional finance players jumping into crypto.

Bitcoin (BTC), the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market value, has rallied above $29,000 for the first time in over a month. This comes following an uptick in bullish sentiment in the crypto market as traditional finance (TradFi) players push further into crypto.

Last week, investment giant BlackRock (BLK) filed for a U.S. bitcoin exchange traded fund (ETF) and on Tuesday, Deutsche Bank said it had for a digital asset custody license in Germany.

Adding to this, crypto exchange EDX Markets, which received funding from financial heavyweights including Charles Schwab (SCHW), Citadel Securities and Fidelity Digital Assets, its trading services.

Bitcoin appears to have outperformed the majority of other digital assets following these advancements, gaining over 8% in 24-hours and pushing to a level it has not seen since May 6, 2022.

Some traders see further gains ahead, with the cryptocurrency possibly $30,400.

In 2025, the stablecoin market shows strong signs of growth. Research indicates that the market cap of USD-pegged stablecoins has surged 46% year-over-year, with total trading volume reaching $27.6 trillion, surpassing the combined volume of Visa and Mastercard transactions in 2024. The average circulating supply is also up 28% from the previous year, reflecting sustained market demand. Once used primarily for crypto trading and DeFi collateral, stablecoins are now expanding into cross-border payments and real-world asset management, reinforcing their growing importance in the global financial system. More banks and enterprises are starting to issue their own stablecoins. Standard Chartered launched an HKD-backed stablecoin, and PayPal issued PYUSD. The CEO of Bank of America has expressed interest in launching a stablecoin once regulations permit (via CNBC). Fidelity is developing its own USD stablecoin, while JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America plan to follow suit when market conditions stabilize. Meanwhile, World Liberty Financial (backed by the Trump family) has introduced USD1, backed by assets such as government bonds and cash.
