Glassnode shared a chart showing that Bitcoin Realized Capitalization has surpassed $900 billion and is nearing $1 trillion. This metric, which tracks the value of all Bitcoins at the price they were last moved, is widely viewed as a more nuanced indicator of market strength than traditional market cap. Growth Accelerates as Realized Cap Approaches Historic Level Interestingly, it took approximately two years from 2011 to 2013 for the Realized Cap to go from 1$ million to 1$ billion. On the other hand, the leap from $100 billion to $1 trillion has taken nearly six years, indicating that increasing capital is required for each successive growth phase. Not long ago, the overall market capitalization of Bitcoin has surpassed $2.1 trillion, positioning it as the sixth-largest asset globally by market cap. This is rather mind blowing when you realize that the cryptocurrency is ahead of companies like Alphabet and Berkshire Hathaway. The rise in Realized Cap also reflects a shift in investor behavior as the short-term holders are gaining big profits, with a peak of $747 million per day and a cumulative $11.4 billion over the past 30 days. Recent Events Push Bitcoin Near All-Time Highs Over the past few days, Bitcoin has been slowly reaching its all time high of around $109,100 with its current price being just shy of $109k. Some events that took place recently likely contributed to this, such as BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, purchasing over $3.1 billion worth of Bitcoin this month. Then, the US Senate advancing a bill aimed at regulating stablecoins and the Texas House passing a proposal to establish a state reserve of Bitcoin have probably boosted the market sentiment. Also, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, who is a long-time critic of Bitcoin, has reversed his stance by allowing JPMorgan clients to buy the cryptocurrency. This is rather big news because Dimon was notable in his anti-Bitcoin stances, calling it a fraud and a pet rock. However, his change of heart marks a big win for the Bitcoin community, which goes in line with a growing institutional interest in the cryptocurrency. Banks like Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs have already made substantial investments in the digital asset. The Realized Cap and the latest growth highlight Bitcoin’s increasing integration and from the looks of it, we’re going to see more and more investments in the future.
