In the broader crypto space, interest in the Bitcoin (BTC) ecosystem is growing, thanks to the bullish price action of the world’s largest cryptocurrency. Bitcoin’s market cap reached a new all-time high of $1.35 trillion on March 5, briefly surpassing silver to become the eighth-largest asset in the world.


The new all-time high comes a day after Bitcoin recorded its highest daily close at $68,245 on March 4, beating its previous record close of $67,525 on Nov. 8, 2021 — bolstering analyst expectations that Bitcoin price could reach $100,000 before the end of 2024.
