The total combined market cap of the entire cryptocurrency market breached a major milestone as it surpassed $1 trillion, while Bitcoin set new all time high above $40,000 per coin on January 7.
The total market cap of the combined global cryptocurrency market surpassed $1 trillion for the first time ever on January 7, symbolizing a major milestone for the entire crypto industry.
The rise above $1 trillion comes after Bitcoin (BTC) surged over 300% in 2020 alone, and broke a new all time high on January 7 above the psychological barrier of $40,000. It has taken BTC less than three weeks after Bitcoin passed its previous all time high of $20,000 to reach the new one at $40,000, a 100% increase in price.
Meanwhile, assisting the rally above $1 trillion total market cap for all of crypto, the second largest digital asset, Ethereum (ETH), increased more than 800% over the past 12 months. ETH today has a current market cap exceeding $140 billion.
Crypto’s Rise
To put things into perspective, following the corona-related market crash of March 2020, the total market cap for all cryptocurrencies was as low as $132 million, meaning that in less than one year, roughly $900 billion has flowed into the crypto market. Staggering numbers for a provably disruptive technological and financial sector.
The significant rise in Bitcoin, Ethereum and countless other altcoins come as institutional investor interest and confidence in digital assets are reaching new heights, driven by both quantitative easing, hedge against fiat currencies and increased mainstream adoption of crypto. Moreover, the growing global instability as a result of the ongoing corona pandemic, both financially and politically, further fuels both institutions and retails’ entry into Bitcoin and crypto in search of a more autonomous, portable and immutable form of money.
The $1 trillion milestone also demonstrates that crypto has taken a step out of the fringe in the eyes of institutional investors, as both Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies now have the liquidity and volume to support large-scale transactions of many billions of dollars. Having the crypto market be liquid enough to infuse large sums is made even more attractive as lucrative returns and profitability of investment are still very high for hedge funds, institutions, billionaires and publicly traded companies.
