Bitcoin (BTC) traded today at around $111,240 per unit.
• Ethereum (ETH) approximately $4,316 per unit.
• BNB (Binance Coin) is around $851 per unit.
But let's expand further: what is the strongest or most expensive currency, in other words, the highest price per unit?
What is the most expensive currency per unit?
According to recent data from May 2025:
• Bitcoin was priced at approximately $103,636 per piece.
• There’s also Coinbase Wrapped BTC (CBBTC) priced at around $103,752 per unit, which is linked to Bitcoin and maintains nearly the same value.
• Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) is also at approximately $103,618 per unit.
• Additionally, there are gold-backed currencies like PAX Gold (PAXG) at $3,331, and Tether Gold (XAUt) at $3,328.
From this list, CBBTC tops as the highest-priced digital currency per unit at that time, although the difference is very slight between it and Bitcoin itself.
Why are some of them more expensive despite being less known?
— Because the price depends on factors such as:
• The number of available units (circulating): the currency may be rare, making each unit more expensive.
• Its technical nature: currencies like PAX Gold and XAUt are backed by gold, which gives each unit real value.
• The supporting projects: some currencies built on specific projects or special use cases increase their value$BTC
