Bitcoin Reclaims $80K Amid Positive ETF Inflows and Measured Institutional Demand
Bitcoin has reclaimed the $80K level after a sharp drop in early April 2026, when it fell below $75,000 due to US tariff announcements. The recovery was gradual, with BTC crossing back above $78,000 in late April and holding that level until the start of May.
The current market capitalization stands at $1.616 trillion, making Bitcoin the number-one asset on CoinGecko's list. The 24-hour trading volume is a significant $47.3 billion, placing BTC well ahead of most other assets in the top 25.
The price gain of 1.26% over the past 24 hours is modest, but the combination of volume and trending placement is notable for a Monday morning session. Bitcoin's position at the top of CoinGecko's trending list is unusual, as retail-focused meme coins and newly launched tokens typically dominate.
