Bitcoin Bitcoin (BTC) recently became the world’s fifth-largest asset class by hitting a new all-time high. On Wednesday, Bitcoin’s value soared to an impressive $109.400, pushing its market cap to a whopping $2,16 trillion. Not only is this a milestone for the crypto, it also means that Bitcoin now ranks ahead of Amazon (AMZN), which has a market cap of $2,15 trillion.

The Power of Bitcoin in Today's Market Landscape

This year, Bitcoin has risen by a whopping 16,44%, while shares of online retailer Amazon have fallen by around 8% over the same period. Today, its trading price hovers around $108.954. This proves the tremendous resilience of Bitcoin despite the market fluctuations.

Overview of the largest assets

Gold remains the largest asset class with an unbeatable market cap of $22 trillion, followed by tech giants Microsoft (MSFT), NVIDIA (NVDA) and Apple (AAPL), each ranging between $3,1 trillion and $3,4 trillion.

Bitcoin's Impact on the ETF Market

Bitcoin's price gains have also impacted mutual funds. For example, BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) recently positioned itself as the fifth largest exchange-traded fund (ETF) in terms of inflows this year, with around $9 billion in new investments. This indicates that investor interest in Bitcoin is stronger than ever, a trend that is likely to continue after the victory of former US President Donald Trump.
