Bitcoin Surpasses $110K: Pizza Day, Hong Kong Stablecoin Law, and Trump's Crypto Dinner Fuel Rally


$Bitcoin (BTC.CC)$ has soared to a record-breaking all-time high, surpassing $110,000 and cementing its position as the world’s fifth most valuable asset by market capitalization at $2.19 trillion—overtaking Amazon. 

This historic rally comes at a pivotal moment for the crypto world, driven by a confluence of headline-making events: the 15th anniversary of Bitcoin Pizza Day, Hong Kong’s landmark stablecoin legislation, and a high-profile crypto dinner hosted by U.S. President Donald Trump.


Bitcoin’s Meteoric Rise and Market Milestone

On May 22, 2025, Bitcoin continued its relentless climb, smashing through the $110,000 barrier and setting a new all-time high. Bitcoin now sits just behind gold, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Apple in global asset rankings, with its $2.19 trillion market cap eclipsing that of Amazon, Google, and even silver.

With such a dramatic rally, investors are closely watching the catalysts driving Bitcoin’s meteoric rise. What are the forces behind this historic surge, and can the momentum continue?

The current rally is not happening in a vacuum. Several major events and trends are converging to fuel Bitcoin’s momentum:


1. 15 Years Since Bitcoin Pizza Day: A Symbol of Crypto’s Journey

This week marks the 15th anniversary of Bitcoin Pizza Day, commemorating the first real-world Bitcoin transaction when Laszlo Hanyecz bought two pizzas for 10,000 BTC on May 22, 2010. At today’s prices, those pizzas would be worth over $1 billion—a powerful reminder of how far Bitcoin has come from its humble beginnings. 

The anniversary has sparked global celebrations, promotions, and renewed enthusiasm among crypto enthusiasts, further fueling Bitcoin's momentum.


2. Hong Kong’s Stablecoin Regulation: A New Era for Digital Assets


Adding to the bullish sentiment, Hong Kong’s Legislative Council has just passed a groundbreaking bill to regulate fiat-referenced stablecoins. The new law requires stablecoin issuers to obtain licenses and comply with strict reserve, redemption, and consumer protection standards. 

This move positions Hong Kong as a leader in digital asset regulation, providing much-needed clarity and confidence for institutional investors and signaling a maturing global crypto market.


3. Trump's Crypto Dinner: Political Spotlight on Bitcoin

Another catalyst for Bitcoin’s surge is the growing political attention in the United States. On May 22, President Donald Trump is hosting a high-profile dinner event with top crypto industry leaders. Trump has recently voiced strong support for cryptocurrencies, pledging to champion the industry if re-elected. 

His public endorsement and engagement with crypto executives have injected fresh optimism into the market, attracting both retail and institutional interest.


The Perfect Storm for Bitcoin’s Breakout

The convergence of these factors—Bitcoin Pizza Day's symbolic significance, Hong Kong's regulatory breakthrough, and Trump's pro-crypto overtures—has created a perfect storm for Bitcoin's latest rally. Market analysts suggest that this wave of positive news is not only boosting investor confidence but also highlighting the growing mainstream acceptance and integration of digital assets worldwide.
