Bitget Futures Market Updates-Bitcoin Hits $52K, Regains $1T Market Cap

On February 14, Bitcoin surged to $52,000, reclaiming a $1 trillion market capitalization for the first time in 26 months.

 

The largest and oldest cryptocurrency ignored a drop below $50,000 the day before, as hotter-than-expected U.S. inflation data came out and allowed it to experience a major price increase during trading hours in Europe. CoinDesk's Bitcoin Price Index data indicates that Bitcoin has closed above $50,000 only 145 times in its history, and this was one of them.

This rally propelled Bitcoin's market value back above $1 trillion, marking its return to this milestone since December 2021. Bitcoin's 4.7% gain over 24 hours mirrored the broader market's advance reflected in the CoinDesk20 Index. Altcoins like Cardano's ADA and Dogecoin (DOGE) surged 6%, while Ether (ETH) climbed over 5% to reach $2,750, its highest level since May 2022. Market sentiment remains bullish, with options traders speculating that Bitcoin could reach $75,000 in the near future, and some targeting the $64,000 mark as demand for spot Bitcoin ETF products increases.

Bitcoin futures saw a drop in trading volume, whereas Ether futures experienced an increase. ETH surpassed BTC in both liquidation amounts and funding rates, although both markets maintained a balanced long/short ratio. Short liquidations were higher than long liquidations for both BTC and ETH.
