Bitcoin

Bitcoin’s market capitalization hit an all-time high of $1.93 trillion on Thursday, Nov. 21, when the asset reached a record high of $97,850.
This means that its market cap is now larger than the world’s sixth-largest company, Saudi Aramco, and just $230 billion behind e-commerce giant Amazon.
The firm, also known as the Saudi Arabian Oil Group, is a majority state-owned petroleum and natural gas company and the national oil company of Saudi Arabia.

Market analyst Tony Sycamore told the outlet that “buyers are strangling the sellers” before adding, “While I’m not sure it’s all going to be smooth sailing as it edges closer to the $100,000 mark, the demand appears to be insatiable.”
On Nov. 21, Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley <a href="https://x.com/HHorsley/status/1859457209543139418" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="external">commented</a>, “The greatest wealth transfer program in the world right now isn’t a tax or welfare program — It’s Bitcoin.”
<blockquote>
 “As Bitcoin succeeds, a large class of people with different world views and values will increasingly have resources to express those views. This is a less obvious, but meaningful way that Bitcoin is changing the world.”

BTC market share has increased to 61.8% as a result of today’s price pump and this means that the altcoins are in pain.
Ethereum, with a market cap of $377 billion — about the same size as Netflix — has felt the brunt of this pain, having failed to move above $3,100 for the past week as the <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/rising-concerns-about-eths-price-as-ethereum-fails-to-capitalize-on-trumps-victory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="internal">FUD returns</a>.
ETH has just 11% crypto market share, stablecoins have 5.7%, and the rest of the altcoins are just minnows in terms of market caps.
