The Russell 2000 index has reached a new all-time high, surpassing 2,550 points, drawing attention to potential impacts on Bitcoin. Historically, the index, which tracks nearly 2,000 U.S. small-cap firms, has shown a correlation with Bitcoin's performance. Past peaks in the Russell 2000 have coincided with significant Bitcoin rallies, including a 390% gain in late 2020. Currently, Bitcoin is trading around $85,800, which is over 30% below its October 2025 peak. Analysts suggest that the increase in liquidity associated with the Russell 2000's rise could benefit risk assets like Bitcoin, potentially setting the stage for future gains.
