A milestone was reached today that saw the combined values of cryptocurrencies now worth more than Apple.

One bitcoin is now worth more than $64,000.  One ethereum is worth $2,350 and one dogecoin worth $0.13 at the time of writing.

The cryptocurrency market is now valued at over $2.2 trillion which, is $10 billion above Apple’s market capitalisation i.e. value.

Bitcoin has risen in price by more than 1,000% over the last year and is valued at more than $1.2 trillion, ranking it above Tesla and Facebook.

Recent gains means Bitcoin the worlds first cryptocurrency is now worth more than the combined market caps of payment giants Mastercard, PayPal and Visa.

Comment

This is a difficult one.  We respect the phenomenal growth of cryptoassets but they are not regulated by the FCA i.e they are an unregulated investment and therefore, as financial advisers, we do not offer advice on them.
