This advancement underscores Bitcoin’s growing recognition alongside traditional assets and a shift in attitude among institutional investors.

Bitcoin Tops $89,000 Mark 

The increase in Bitcoin’s value occurs amid strong institutional support. Bitcoin surged over 9% on Monday. This signifies the second occasion in 2024 that its market capitalization has surpassed that of silver. 

The initial event happened in March. While silver saw a decrease of 6.24% over the last week, Bitcoin maintained its upward trajectory, achieving rises of about 30% during the same timeframe. 

Wall Street Shifts Perception

Historically, silver has been regarded as a stable store of value. However, Bitcoin’s recent rise indicates a notable change among traditional investors. Bitcoin is now accepted by Wall Street and this has been fueled by its increasing adoption and expected regulatory changes. 

This shift highlights Bitcoin’s position as a long-term investment and its capacity to endure market volatility.
