Bitcoin Surges Past Meta in Global Rankings with $1.54T Market Cap
Bitcoin's market capitalization surged past $1.54 trillion on Friday, catapulting it to become the world's 13th-largest asset by value.
The cryptocurrency outpaced Meta Platforms in global rankings after its price rally of more than 20% over seven days.
Institutional demand and ETF inflows strengthened Bitcoin's position, while treasury bond buybacks supported risk assets and lowered long-term yields.
Short liquidations added momentum as traders betting against BTC were forced to close positions during the rapid move higher.
