Bitcoin breaks all borders: record high and new rules in sight!

Washington, USA - On July 14, 2025, Bitcoin reaches a record high of around $ 122,000 (104,425 euros) on the trading platform BISTAMP. The course thus exceeds the $ 122,600 mark for the first time after it has stagnated around $ 100,000 in a narrow trading range since May. The increase in Bitcoin value by around 75 % since Donald Trump re-election to the US President in November is particularly noteworthy. Trump is considered a sponsor of cryptocurrencies, which has fueled speculation about the possible loosening of trade rules. The upcoming "Crypto Week" in the United States also promises important law decisions for the crypto market.

From July 15th to 18th, 2025, the "Crypto Week" officially takes place in Washington. During this period, three central legislative proposals in the US Congress are discussed. The first draft, the ** Clarity Act **, aims to create clear rules for the US crypto market. The law would classify digital assets either as a security (government, second) or as digital goods (CFTC). Companies would be obliged to manage customers separately and to disclose conflicts of interest. In addition, registration with authorities would be necessary, which could create legal security for developers and platforms in order to prevent the emigration of innovative projects abroad, such as the Stuttgarter News reported.

important draft laws in detail

Another important law is the ** Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act **, which prohibits the introduction of a state digital currency (CBDC). The Federal Reserve would no longer be authorized to issue CBDCs directly or via third -party providers to citizens, which is justified as the protection of financial privacy and to prevent surveillance. Trump had already prohibited the development of a CBDC by decree.

The third draft, the ** Genius Act **, is to create a legal framework for stable coins-digital currencies that are coupled to the US dollar. These must be fully covered with secure assets such as US state bonds or cash. Providers are obliged to disclose reserves transparently in order to secure creditor rights in the event of bankruptcy. The aim is to enable faster and cheaper payments with stable coins and to increase the demand for US state bonds.

effects on European investors

Developments in US cryptor regulation also have high relevance for European and German-speaking investors. A new US law on cryptocurrency regulation is considered safe with a probability of about 75 % and could act as a catalyst for the market. Experts predict a market volume of up to 2,400 billion euros. Bitcoin is less volatile than traditional markets in geopolitical crises, which makes it an interesting investment product, such as [capitalcheck] (https://kapitalcheck.de/2025/29/neue-us-krryptoregulation-auf-auf-europaeische-Investoren/)

In addition, new registration forms are introduced for investors, which is intended to lead to greater control and transparency in dealing with cryptocurrencies. Clear legal bases can facilitate investment decisions and promote market maturity and sustainable growth. This will also have an impact on tax treatment and compliance requirements for European investors who should adapt their investment strategies.
