Bitcoin Surpasses $1 Trillion Market Cap, Hits All-Time High Against Japanese Yen
Bitcoin has experienced a significant climb of nearly 20% this week, resulting in it surpassing the $1 trillion market cap for the first time since November 2021. This surge can be attributed to the continued inflows to the newly launched spot ETFs earlier this year.
As a result of this milestone, Bitcoin has reached an all-time high against certain depreciating fiat currencies, including the Japanese Yen. Specifically, Bitcoin surged to a fresh peak of 7.9 million Yen on the Tokyo-based cryptocurrency exchange bitFLYER. However, its price in USD still remained above $52,000, which is more than 30% lower than its previous record high of $69,000.
