As Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rapidly approaches the $100,000 milestone, experts tell Benzinga its dominance is about to hit a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bitcoin-price-prediction">crucial turning point</a>. 
They attribute this rise to record-breaking trading volumes, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42042019/bitcoin-buyer-spree-microstrategy-acquires-4-6b-in-btc-metaplanet-issues-11-4m-in-bonds-to-fund-purchases">increasing institutional adoption</a> and a shift in investor focus toward <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42121936/bitcoin-boom-20-microstrategy-gains-traction-as-a-leveraged-bet-on-crypto-growth">Bitcoin as a quality asset</a>.
What Happened: Bitcoin is trading just below $99,000 at the time of writing, after hitting a record high of $99,486 late Thursday, according to <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bitcoin">data </a>from CoinGecko.
In a note sent to Benzinga, Sumit Gupta, co-founder of CoinDCX pointed to the sharp increase in trading activity as a major driver, with daily spot trading volumes exceeding $25 billion and peaking above $40 billion, a significant rise from the $10-12 billion seen just months ago.
&#8220;The surge has been further fueled by developments in the U.S. political landscape. Digital assets have already benefitted from the incoming administration of President-elect (Donald) Trump, with many anticipating that his potential second term could bring more favorable regulatory policies for the crypto sector,&#8221; he said.
Speculation surrounding <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42120607/gary-gensler-to-step-down-as-sec-chair-on-trumps-inauguration-day">the resignation</a> of SEC Chair Gary Gensler and the potential for more <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42131449/with-gary-gensler-preparing-to-quit-in-2025-secs-crypto-cases-likely-to-quietly-go-away-amid-trumps-pro-bitcoin-stance-says-pantera-capitals-katrina-paglia">crypto-friendly leadership</a> has further boosted investor sentiment, he added.

Avinash Shekhar, co-founder and CEO of Pi42, said Bitcoin now accounts for 58% of the total cryptocurrency market cap, which has surged to $3.2 trillion. 
"As we approach this critical milestone, the market's focus is shifting toward BTC as the dominant force," Shekhar added.
According to 10x Research, robust liquidity inflows remain a key factor driving Bitcoin's rise.
Tether (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDT</a>) and Circle (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) minted $10 billion and $3 billion respectively in the past month, contributing to an overall minting impulse of $7 billion on a 7-day rolling basis.
"This relentless liquidity is a major driver of the crypto market's momentum," the firm noted. 
Analysts at 10x Research believe that Bitcoin could reach $115,000 by Christmas, with December's historical average return of +9.1% providing a strong basis for further gains. 
"Bitcoin's upward momentum could continue well beyond the $100,000 milestone," the report concluded.
