Bitcoin Surpasses Visa Market Cap as it Breaks the $25, 000 Milestone

Once again, Bitcoin has crossed yet another major milestone of $25, 000 reaching a new all-time high.

The new high has now valued Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, above Visa, the financial services giant, at about $462 billion.

The current milestone, once again, comes at the back of institutional investments that have seen billions of dollars channelled into crypto assets, particularly Bitcoin.
