  • Bitcoin has made a surprising new milestone: surpassing the Swiss franc as the world's 13th largest currency.
  • The news came from WatcherGuru on X yesterday.
  • Next in Bitcoin's sights are the New Taiwan Dollar and Australian Dollar.

Bitcoin cheered crypto fans around the world when it hit yet another new all-time high of $72,085 yesterday.

With the new ATH came an intriguing post from Watcher.Guru on X: Bitcoin is now the 13th largest currency in the world, in terms of market cap.

This means that, with a market cap of 19,654,328 BTC, Bitcoin is larger than the Swiss Franc (formerly number 13), the Mexican Peso, the Singapore Dollar and several other currencies, according to CoinMarketCap.

According to Invezz.com’s own research and CoinMarketCap, this means that Bitcoin has roughly 9,000 BTC in market cap to accrue before it overtakes both the Australian Dollar and New Taiwan Dollar as well to become the 11th largest currency in the world.

WatcherGuru noted on the news that:

This is due largely to Bitcoin’s deflationary supply being controlled by regular, controlled halvings once every four years, the next of which is due to occur just five weeks from now.
