Bitcoin currently has a market share of 41.8% but its market cap is the same as it was for the entire crypto asset market just four months ago in July.
That total market capitalization has now topped $3 trillion having gained almost 300% since the beginning of the year. This means that altcoins have largely outperformed Bitcoin in 2021.
On Nov 9, on-chain analytics provider Glassnode noted that exchange outflows are still going on and BTC balances are falling despite the ATH.
“As Bitcoin hits new All-Time-Highs, exchange balances continue to be depleted. Exchange reserves we track account for just over 12.9% of the circulating supply and are still seeing outflows, even at ATH prices.”
The firm concluded that Bitcoin’s “investor conviction” also appeared to be at all-time highs as long-term holders remain reluctant to sell. In its weekly on-chain report published on Nov 8, Glassnode stated “over 85% of the coin supply has remained dormant since August 2021. Investors are just not spending their coins.”
Ethereum at ATH
Ethereum has also notched up an all-time high tapping $4,857 during the Asian trading session today. At the time of writing, ETH was changing hands for $4,815 after gaining 1.7% on the day and 11% over the past week.
Other crypto assets cranking up today include Cardano up 6.4%, Shiba Inu gaining 5.5%, and Litecoin which has skyrocketed 18% to $244 at the time of writing.
