La capitalisation du bitcoin dépasse 1.000 milliards de dollars, une première depuis deux ans

La reine des cryptomonnaies a franchi les 51.000 dollars ce mercredi. Sa capitalisation dépasse ainsi 1.000 milliards de dollars, une première depuis décembre 2021.

L’envolée du bitcoin se poursuit. Ce mercredi 14 février, la reine des cryptomonnaies a dépassé les 51.000 dollars. Le bitcoin avait déjà franchi lundi les 50.000 dollars, pour la première fois depuis deux ans. Et à 14h30 ce mercredi, le bitcoin s’échange à 51.700 dollars selon Coinmarketcap. En une semaine, le cours de la cryptomonnaie s’est envolé de 19%. Sa capitalisation a ainsi dépassé le seuil symbolique des 1.000 milliards de dollars, revenant à son niveau de décembre 2021.

Le bitcoin se rapproche de son record historique

La hausse du bitcoin au dessus des 51.000 dollars a entraîné la liquidation de près de 70 millions de dollars de positions courtes (c’est-à-dire pariant sur une baisse des cours) sur l’actif, souligne le média spécialisé The Block. Pour rappel, cette hausse du bitcoin s’explique, en partie, par certains arbitrages au sein de l’ETF bitcoin spot de Grayscale.

En effet, dès le 10 janvier, de nombreux investisseurs ayant misé sur ce fonds ont décidé de vendre leurs bitcoins pour réaliser des profits. Le fonds est passé de 619.000 bitcoins détenus le 10 janvier à 463.000 bitcoins ce mercredi 13 février, soit une chute de 25%, selon les données de Coinglass. Mais les sorties de ce fonds semblent de moins en moins nombreuses, le cours du bitcoin se retrouvant moins affaibli qu’au mois de janvier.

L’envolée du cours du bitcoin fait des heureux: ceux qui détiennent cet actif sur le long terme. En effet, selon Intotheblock, 94% du total des détenteurs de bitcoins sont en plus-value latente depuis que l’actif a dépassé ce lundi les 50.000 dollars. Cela signifie que ces derniers ont acquis des bitcoins à un prix inférieur à son prix actuel. Le bitcoin a augmenté de 150% sur l’année 2023 et de 22% depuis le début de l’année 2024, porté par l’optimisme des investisseurs.
