Bitcoin's market capitalization jumps to sixth in the world, surpassing silver and Amazon
On April 23, according to the latest data from 8marketcap, Bitcoin's market capitalization reached $1.845 trillion (24-hour increase of 5.36%), surpassing silver ($1.843 trillion, decrease of 0.47%) and tech giant Amazon ($1.837 trillion, increase of 3.5%), climbing to sixth place in the global asset market capitalization ranking.
This achievement further solidifies Bitcoin's status as digital gold and reflects the growing confidence in cryptocurrencies in the market.
The significance of this market capitalization surpassing is profound. First, as an emerging asset that has only been around for 16 years, Bitcoin's market capitalization has exceeded that of silver, which has a history of thousands of years, highlighting the remarkable growth potential of digital assets.
Secondly, surpassing tech giants like Amazon indicates that Bitcoin is transforming from a purely speculative asset to a recognized store of value in the mainstream market.
It is worth noting that the overall performance of the cryptocurrency market is also impressive. According to Coingecko data, the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies has now surpassed $3 trillion, reaching $3.02 trillion, with a 24-hour increase of 4.6%.
Under the strong push of multiple favorable factors, Bitcoin has reached an important milestone moment. On one hand, the US spot Bitcoin ETF continues to attract capital inflows, demonstrating the market's firm confidence in this digital asset;
On the other hand, after Bitcoin's fourth halving event, it has injected strong momentum into the market. In addition, against the backdrop of increasing global inflationary pressures, investor demand for alternative assets is growing, further driving the upward momentum of Bitcoin.
Market analysts point out that if Bitcoin can maintain its current upward trend, its market capitalization is expected to challenge the fifth-ranked parent company of Google, Alphabet, which currently has a market capitalization of about $1.859 trillion.
However, some experts remind investors to remain rational. While pursuing profits, they should also keep a clear mind, fully recognize the high risks of the cryptocurrency market, allocate assets reasonably, and avoid blindly following trends.
