According to the information of the CME, the demand for trades with the BTC has overcome 1 billion USD, which is a new record for the exchange. Since March 2020, the volume has grown by 550%. The sky-rocketing of the BTC has no fundamental driver – you can try any explanations but obviously, the Bitcoin is pushed upwards by the tide of common excitement.
To some extent, the BTC rate is supported by the lack of trust of investors in normal fiat assets; market participants keep looking for new means of investing and making money – indeed, in such a situation, the crypto market attracts attention.
The increase in the BTC price pulled the capitalization up as well – for the first time ever it was estimated higher than 340 billion USD. Yesterday the capitalization approached 342 billion USD, which is the all-time high-frequency. For the last time, the record was renewed in 2017, when the capitalization reached 325 billion USD.
The BTC share in the crypto market now amounts to 66.5%; since the beginning of November, the price of the leading cryptocurrency has grown by almost 30%.
