Bitcoin has fallen to the 12th-largest asset globally by market capitalization, slipping behind Tesla in the rankings, according to CompaniesMarketCap.
The digital asset’s price tumbled to $81,000 earlier today and continued to fall as trading progressed. At the time of writing, BTC was hovering around $77,300, down 8% over the past 24 hours, TradingView data shows.
The recent decline has pushed Bitcoin’s market capitalization down to approximately $1.5 trillion, allowing Tesla, now valued at $1.6 trillion, to move ahead to the 11th position.
Earlier this week, Bitcoin fell out of the top 10 global assets, placing it behind Meta Platforms and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company.
The sharp market correction this morning has triggered widespread deleveraging, wiping out roughly $2.5 billion in leveraged crypto positions in the past day, per CoinGlass.
Long traders bore the brunt of the losses at $2.4 billion, while more than 408,000 traders were liquidated.
