Global Crypto Market Cap Hits $4.1 Trillion All-Time High on Bitcoin and Ethereum Surge
The global cryptocurrency market achieved a historic milestone on August 7, 2025, when its total market capitalization surpassed $4.1 trillion, setting a new all-time high. This record was confirmed by market tracking platforms and marked a continuation of a weeks-long upward trend in digital asset valuations [1]. Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, played a central role in the surge, reaching as high as $122,321 on August 8, 2025, nearly within 1% of its previous peak recorded in late July [4]. The sustained gains reflect growing institutional interest and increasing speculation about the potential inclusion of Bitcoin in traditional financial products such as 401(k) retirement accounts [5].
