Bitcoin Drops Out of Top 10 Global Assets as Market Cap Slides to $1.45T

Key Facts

1Bitcoin fell from $83K to $72.4K in May, reducing its market cap to $1.45T.

2Bitcoin's ranking fell to 13th place among the world's largest global assets.

Amid a significant price correction in digital asset markets, Bitcoin has lost its position among the world's top ten assets by market capitalization. According to reports, the cryptocurrency's price fell from $83,000 to $72,400 during May, leading to a contraction in its total market valuation to $1.45 trillion. This decline resulted in Bitcoin's global ranking dropping to 13th place among the world's largest corporate and commodity assets.

This retreat occurs as traditional assets like Gold and major technology firms continue to solidify their lead; for instance, NVIDIA's market cap currently stands near $3.1 trillion, while Gold leads the global ranking at over $15 trillion per market data. Bitcoin's exit from the top 10 highlights the high volatility inherent in the crypto sector compared to stable growth stocks, especially as selling pressure persists following record highs reached earlier this year.

Traders should watch the current support level at $72,400 (close June 24, 2026) to ensure no further slide that could dampen institutional confidence. Looking ahead at the economic calendar, the market awaits US Initial Jobless Claims on June 18, which could influence Fed interest rate expectations and subsequently impact risk appetite across the cryptocurrency market.
