Bitcoin is just shy of Tesla, capped at $579.82 billion in 10th place while the world’s leading cryptocurrency has a higher market capitalization than leading companies like Meta, Johnson & Johnson, TSMC, Visa, ExxonMobil, and Tencent.
Bitcoin’s value has gone up by over 13.7% in the last 30 days, and 25% in the last 14 after the collapse of 3 high-profile banks. Over the weekend, the value of Bitcoin rose above $28,000 as investors rekindled their interest in it as a substitute financial system.
While Bitcoin pulled back by 2% on Monday to $27,705.23, it had hit $28,554.07, its highest price in 9 months, according to several reports.
The rise in Bitcoin value comes after several banks, most notably:
- Silvergate Bank
- Silicon Valley Bank
- Signature Bank
- First Republic Bank
- Credit Suisse
face shutdowns and rescues for various reasons.
Swiss bank, Credit Suisse, the latest bank in the headlines, was acquired by rival, UBS, for 3 billion Swiss francs ($3.2 billion), a deal largely brokered by Swiss regulators to stem the contagion from spreading further in the global banking sector.
Bitcoin, which became the fastest asset to hit a $1 trillion market capitalization back in February 2021, doing so just 12 years after is creation, is expected to continue rising in the coming weeks as investors anticipate a slow down in interest rate hikes by the US Federal Reserve.
