Bitcoin dethrones Google to become world’s 5th biggest asset

In this post:

  • BTC hit $94K and a $1.86T market cap, surpassing Google to become the 5th-largest asset globally.
  • The total crypto market cap jumped nearly 7% to approach $3T, with trading volume spiking 53%.
  • Market optimism rose after Trump eased rhetoric on Powell and China tariffs.

Bitcoin (BTC) has leapfrogged Google to become the fifth-largest asset in the world. As it broke past $94,000 and hit $1.86 trillion in market capitalization, BTC reclaimed its throne as the market’s most disruptive force. Meanwhile, Alphabet Inc. (Google) stock price has also printed a green index over the last day.

The digital assets market recorded a fresh influx of funds as investors’ sentiments turned back to normal. The cumulative crypto market cap surged by almost 7% in the last 24 hours and is trying to regain the $3 trillion mark. Its 24-hour trading volume spiked by 53% to stand at $137 billion.

Bitcoin hits ATH in asset rankings

This is the highest ranking Bitcoin has ever reached, even though its market cap once topped $2 trillion back when prices soared above $109K. However, this time tech stocks aren’t flying quite as high as they were earlier, which has made Bitcoin’s ascent even more dominant.

Bitcoin price jumped by more than 6% in the last 24 hours. BTC is trading at an average price of $94,132 with a trading volume of $59.2 billion. However, it is still down by 13% from its all-time high of $109K. Its market cap stands at $1.864 trillion.

Data shows that US spot Bitcoin ETFs have bagged the biggest inflow of $912.7 million since President Donald Trump took office. With the ongoing surge, Bitcoin dominance has hit 63.41%. 

Google stock price has managed to surge by over 2% after the downturn. It is trading at an average price of $153.90 while it is still up 2.2% in the pre-market trading session and is expected to hit $157. It looks like there is a lot to cover for Google as it is still trailing by 9.43% over the past month. Its market cap stands at $1.859 trillion.

Gold cools down after new highs

As per the rankings, Nvidia stands above Bitcoin at the 4th spot, and Gold still leads the category with a market cap of $22.39 trillion. Gold price took a dip of 2% on Wednesday morning after hitting a new all-time high and is trading at $3,326.54 at the press time. Apple (AAPL) has secured the second spot with a cap of $3 trillion.

Fresh optimism from easing US-China tariff tensions has lit a fire under both Bitcoin and Nasdaq futures, which are up 2%. BTC is now outperforming the Nasdaq itself which is a rare signal of broader asset class rotation. This all happened after Donald Trump said he won’t fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell and floated the idea of dialing down China tariffs.
