According to Invezz.com's findings, this indicates that Bitcoin, with a market capitalization of $1.409 trillion, has attained the status of the eighth-largest financial asset worldwide, based on data provided by CompaniesMarketCap.

According to Watcher.Guru on X (formerly Twitter) as well, Bitcoin is now the eighth largest individual asset market, surpassing precious metal silver in value.
