Додека колапсот на FTX бричи 100 милијарди долари од пазарната капа на БТК за само четири дена минатата година, БТК успеа целосно да се опорави и да собере уште 65 милијарди долари.
A 48% Bitcoin (БТК) price surge since the start of the year has pushed BTC’s market cap past that of payment processing giant Visa once again.
With the BTC price currently at $24,365, its market cap of $470.16 billion is now marginally above that of Visa with a market cap of $469.87 billion, според до CoinMarketCap.
This is the third time that BTC has “flippened” the market cap of Visa, според to Companies Market Cap.
The first time came in late December 2020 when BTC also happened to hit $25,000 for the first time. This was achieved during a price surge that saw BTC rally from $10,200 in September 2020 to $63,170 seven months later in April 2021.
Visa re-took the lead between June and October 2022, which then saw BTC surpass Visa for a very brief moment on Oct. 1 before the payments company re-captured the lead again.
This lead was widened when the колапс на размена на криптовалути FTX shaved off over $100 billion from the BTC in four days between Nov. 6-10, 2022.
However, since then, BTC has fully recovered and stacked an additional $65 billion on top of its Nov. 6 market cap of $408 billion to overtake the payment processing giant.

It should be worth noting that given the small difference in market cap between BTC and Visa, the two are currently flipping each other by the hour.
