This achievement places Bitcoin as the eighth-largest traded asset globally.<\/p>\n<p>The rally through the $90,000 threshold represents a 39.5% gain from its pre-election dip to $66,880. The nine-day climb marks Bitcoin's largest price surge since January 2021, requiring significantly more capital given its expanded market size. Back then, Bitcoin's market cap was approximately $450 billion \u2014 just a fraction of its current valuation.<\/p>\n<p>Profit-taking has tempered the rally, with $640 million in net outflows recorded over the last two trading days. This has led to a consolidation phase, mirroring patterns seen in traditional financial markets as investors secure gains after sharp upward moves.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, retail activity has also surged, with Bitcoin transactions under $100,000 hitting a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ki_young_ju\/status\/1858383043700064299\">three-year high<\/a>, according to <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/cryptoquant\/\">CryptoQuant<\/a> <\/span>CEO Ki Young Ju.<\/p>\n<p>However, they remain far below the retail interest seen during the 2021 bull run, when Coinbase's iOS app hit the top rank on the Apple store. Similarly, google searches also remain well below the levels seen in the last cycle, suggesting that the majority of retail remains sidelined for now.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Heavy ETF inflows<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The report also highlighted record-breaking capital inflows into US spot Bitcoin ETFs, which now hold over <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/us-bitcoin-etfs-now-hold-1-million-bitcoin-worth-96-billion\/\">1 million BTC<\/a>. Analysts anticipate Bitcoin ETFs will surpass the market cap of gold ETFs within two months \u2014 five years ahead of initial projections made by experts.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/blackrock\/\">BlackRock's<\/a> iShares Bitcoin ETF (<a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/products\/ishares-bitcoin-trust\/\">IBIT<\/a>)<\/span>\u00a0exemplifies this momentum, recently overtaking the AUM of the firm's iShares Gold ETF (IAU).
