Looking at this set of data makes it clear. The gap between the cryptocurrency market and traditional finance is huge — the total market cap has remained at 3 trillion for the past four years, while gold and US stocks have grown by 50 trillion during the same period. What does this comparison indicate? It shows that we are just getting started.

Recently, market trading volume has indeed been a bit quiet, but this is precisely the necessary condition for a rise. Don't underestimate those smaller coins ranked lower; they are the foundation and soul of this market. The liquidity on the Bitcoin bullish side has almost been cleared out, and the market cap residual value of altcoins has hit a ten-year low — everyone in the know understands what this means.

Looking at traditional assets, gold has basically peaked, and silver can rise 50% in a month. Such a market trend is simply not seen on the gold side.

The historical trajectory is very clear: in 2013, the total market cap of the crypto space was 100 billion; by 2017, it skyrocketed to 800 billion; in 2021, it reached 3 trillion. At this pace, by 2026, the minimum scale will be 7.5 trillion.
