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.

The bond market remained stable on Thursday morning after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/06/39293034/exclusive-federal-reserve-to-hold-interest-rates-steady-wednesday-heres-how-investors-are-bracing-fo">the Federal Reserve</a> kept interest rates unchanged on Wednesday, as bond exchange-traded funds stayed flat in early-morning trading.



The Fed kept rates at a 23-year high of between 5.25% and 5.5% on Wednesday as it strives to lower the 3.3% inflation rate to 2%.



&#8220;The Committee does not expect it will be appropriate to reduce the target range until it has gained greater confidence that inflation is moving sustainably toward 2 percent,&#8221; the agency said in a statement on Wednesday.



But policymakers have said they will start lowering rates once they are assured that inflation is heading toward the 2% target. They also scaled back its forecast from three rate cuts to just <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/06/39294739/how-mays-inflation-slowdown-could-influence-feds-next-move-insights-from-6-economis">one this year</a> after an inflation rose in early 2024.



&#8220;The economic outlook is uncertain, and the Committee remains highly attentive to inflation risks,&#8221; the Fed said.

Several bond ETFs were trading higher at the time of publication Thursday.



Fidelity Total Bond ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FBND#NYSE">FBND</a>) shares edged up 0.2% to $45.29, while iShares Core Total USD Bond Market ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IUSB#NASDAQ">IUSB</a>) stock ticked up 0.24% to $45.43.



Stock held by iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AGG#NYSE">AGG</a>) were up 0.29% to $97.61 on Thursday morning. Vanguard Tax-Exempt Bond Index Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTEB#NYSE">VTEB</a>) shares went up 0.23% to $50.33.



The Fed also said it will keep lowering its holdings of Treasury securities and agency debt and agency mortgage‑backed securities as part of its 2% inflation goal.



&#8220;The Committee would be prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy as appropriate if risks emerge that could impede the attainment of the Committee&#8217;s goals,&#8221; the Fed said. 



&#8220;The Committee&#8217;s assessments will take into account a wide range of information, including readings on labor market conditions, inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and financial and international developments,&#8221; the central bank added.
