Chart of the week

Bitcoin (BTC) had a remarkable week, hitting new all-time highs multiple times. Following this rally, it became the fifth-largest asset globally by market capitalization—surpassing Amazon.

Over the past few months, bitcoin has been steadily climbing the “ladder” of the world’s most valuable assets, with Apple now being the next potential milestone.

Given recent regulatory progress, rising adoption, and Bitcoin’s predictable supply dynamics, crypto investors have reason to be optimistic. Adding to that, key alternatives like Ethereum (ETH) have delivered even stronger performance than Bitcoin during this period.
