<p>Bitcoin continues to shine among the main global financial assets. Recent data reveals that its market capitalization now rivals that of many traditional companies, approaching that of silver.</p>

<p>Bitcoin does not let up in its race to the crown of financial assets. In February, the queen of cryptos had managed to take the lead over silver. Although the recent drop <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/bitcoin-dethroned-money-makes-a-spectacular-comeback/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">disrupted trends</a>, BTC does not want to give up and intends to regain the upper hand.</p>

<p>According to a study by Crypto Rank, Bitcoin ranks <a href="https://x.com/cryptorank_io/status/1795822097605841143?s=46" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">9th among financial assets</a> with a market capitalization of 1.33 trillion dollars, just behind silver and its 1.8 trillion.</p>
<p>Ethereum is not left behind, rising to 24th place with 455 billion dollars, even surpassing the <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/mastercard-unveils-crypto-credential-revolution/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">giant Mastercard</a> and its 413 billion. But the real challenge for these main cryptos remains gold, which stands at the top with a colossal market capitalization of 15.7 trillion dollars.</p>

<p>Unsurprisingly, <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/bitcoin-binance-ethereum-solana-and-ripple-the-biggest-crypto-news-of-the-past-week-3/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin and Ethereum reign supreme</a> in the crypto market with more than 70% market share combined, according to CoinMarketCap data.</p>
<p>Despite a total market capitalization still far from that of gold, cryptos still weigh more than 2.5 trillion dollars. Bitcoin alone represents 53% of it, with 1.3 trillion, while Ethereum captures 18% of the market with 453 billion.</p>
<p>This concentration gives the two leaders considerable influence: the slightest variation in their price affects the entire crypto ecosystem.</p>
<p>After a spectacular surge in recent months, Bitcoin and Ethereum have paused in recent days. BTC is around 67,000 dollars, down nearly 3% from its recent highs. For its part, ETH oscillates around 3,750 dollars, down 2% on the session of May 29.</p>
