Bitcoin reportedly hit an all-time high of $109,730 Wednesday (May 21), driven in part by the Monday (May 19) news that a stablecoin bill advanced in the U.S. Senate.

The cryptocurrency reached its previous record high around the Jan. 20 inauguration of President Donald Trump, which heightened the market’s hopes for regulatory clarity around crypto, Bloomberg reported Wednesday.

Bitcoin has also benefited from some investors’ belief that it offers a haven from financial market turmoil, from some companies stockpiling the token, and from the greater variety of bitcoin exposure available to investors, according to the report.

The crypto industry-backed bill in the Senate is set for debate and could pass as soon as this week, per the report.

“It’s the shift of approach from [former Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler and the SEC] to this Trump administration, which has embraced our industry,” Michael Novogratz, founder and CEO of Galaxy Digital, told Bloomberg TV Wednesday. “That freed up the animal spirits both here and abroad.”

The Senate voted to advance the country’s first stablecoin legislation, the GENIUS Act, an acronym for Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins of 2025 Act, on Monday after weeks of political back-and-forth, PYMNTS reported Tuesday (May 20).

“Tonight’s vote is a welcome and long-overdue step toward asserting U.S. leadership in digital assets,” Senate Banking Committee Chairman Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., said in a press release. “After playing politics, I’m glad many of my Democratic colleagues have returned to the table and are supporting a bipartisan product they helped shape. By moving forward on the GENIUS Act, we are one step closer to delivering a regulatory framework that keeps innovation in America, protects consumers, and safeguards our national security.”

After hitting its previous record high in January upon Trump’s inauguration, the price of bitcoin fell by as much as 30% when new tariffs led to a market downturn.

However, it rose back above the $100,000 mark for the first time in three months on May 8 amid anticipation for a relaxation of global tariff-related tensions following a new trade deal.

“It just speaks to the large amount of demand for digital assets in the industry, and especially bitcoin,” Cosmo Jiang of Pantera Capital told Bloomberg at the time.

Deus X Pay, an institutional stablecoin payment solution setting new standards across the luxury sectors, is now enabling crypto payments for property purchases at the new Trump Tower Dubai, the first Trump International Hotel to be built in the Middle East.

The new $1 billion Trump Tower Dubai, unveiled through partnership with London-listed Dar Global,marks a breakthrough in global luxury real estate. Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of the Trump Organisation and son of US President Donald Trump, has recently announced that Bitcoin and other digital currencies will be accepted for condo sales.

Ziad El Chaar, CEO of Dar Global, said the Trump Tower Dubai is among the most ambitious Trump-branded residential towers globally, reflecting the project’s magnitude, stature, and symbolic significance in the region and internationally.

Trump previously told Gulf Business that Dubai is where luxury real estate and financial innovation intersect, and projects like Trump Tower Dubai are leading the way. By embracing technologies like stablecoins, buyers gain a faster, cheaper and more transparent way to secure exclusive, high-end properties while reshaping how luxury transactions are conducted.

Deus X Pay, a licensed Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) in Lithuania, offers institutional stablecoin payment solutions, enabling luxury sectors such as real estate, aviation and yachting to capitalise on this new era of finance. Deus X Pay CEO, Richard Crook, highlights that Dubai has created an environment where stablecoins can flourish as a practical, secure tool for international transactions (with Crypto Watch reporting that crypto adoption in the UAE is expected to surge 210% in 2025), giving premium buyers faster, frictionless access to high-value assets.

“Dubai’s forward-thinking stance has unlocked a whole new economy, and the gold standard for transactions of high-value assets. International buyers seek faster settlements, fewer cross-border complications and seamless access to premium developments. This project is a defining moment — not just for Deus X Pay, but for the global real estate sector. We are thrilled to deliver the regulated rails that make it possible for premium property buyers to transact instantly, compliantly and without the traditional delays or friction.”

The Trump Tower Dubai, an 80-story architectural icon, offers the highest international standards for ultra-high-net-worth travellers and long-stay residents. The exclusive building boasts 2-3 bedroom apartments and 4-bedroom penthouses valued at over AED 73 million, the highest outdoor swimming pool in the world, and has views of the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa.

This new skyscraper is part of an expanding trend across private aviation, superyachts, and luxury collectables as high-end sectors embrace digital assets as a payment option to future-proof legacy industries.
