According to OKX Latin America's Regional Manager, bitcoin's new all-time high signals a fundamental shift in how institutions, corporations, and individuals approach capital preservation.
"Bitcoin's recent surge isn't just speculative—it reflects a profound change in how capital protection strategies are evolving," stated Karina Caudillo, Regional Manager at OKX LatAm, during an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph en Español.
Key Drivers Behind Bitcoin's Historic Rally
Caudillo emphasized that multiple converging factors propelled bitcoin to surpass $111,000** on May 22, 2025, briefly touching **$112,000:
"Sovereign reserve strategies, corporate moves like Strive Treasury's $8 billion initiative, massive capital inflows into Bitcoin ETFs, and growing macroeconomic/geopolitical uncertainty all play a role. Regulatory clarity is also increasingly supportive."
Why Bitcoin's Scarcity Matters
- Fixed supply: Unlike traditional assets or other cryptocurrencies, bitcoin cannot be printed or multiplied.
- Demand surge: Institutional adoption and ETF approvals intensify buying pressure against limited supply.
- Market confidence: Positive regulatory developments reinforce long-term viability.
"This combination of scarcity and accelerating demand creates the perfect conditions for bitcoin's resurgence," Caudillo noted.

Short-Term Volatility vs. Long-Term Growth
On May 23, bitcoin dipped below $109,000 after its record high—a normal market correction. Caudillo remains bullish:
"Market pullbacks are healthy. This ATH will positively impact the broader crypto ecosystem, potentially boosting altcoins that often follow bitcoin's upward trends."
