Bitcoin<\/a> is about to perform its most important feat yet: achieve a market cap of over $1 trillion. And it just got past the first major hurdle at $52,000.<\/p>\n The $54,000 price level and above is the only remaining threshold in the way, and once past it, a flood of trillions in capital could follow after the milestone is set.<\/p>\n Bitcoin<\/a> just took out $52,000 just a day after poking above $50,000 per coin for the first time ever.

At the current cost per coin, the cryptocurrency is less than 5% away from setting the record.<\/p>\n Related Reading | Bitcoin Market Cap Surpasses Tesla, Here\u2019s Which Companies Are Next<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nBitcoin Takes Out $52,000 With No Ceiling In Sight<\/h2>\n
