Bitcoin Slips Out of Top 10 Global Assets by Market Capitalization

2026/01/30 19:48

Bitcoin has fallen out of the top 10 global assets by market capitalization, now ranking 11th according to the latest data.

The shift comes as traditional assets and major technology companies continue to dominate the upper ranks, while Bitcoin’s market value contracts alongside a notable short-term price decline.

At the time of the snapshot, Bitcoin is valued at $1.653 trillion, with a price of $82,772, posting a –5.61% daily change.

Gold and Silver Reclaim the Top Positions

Gold leads the rankings with a market capitalization of $35.863 trillion, trading at $5,158, despite a –3.67% daily decline. Silver follows with a market cap of $5.791 trillion, priced at $102.88, and showing a sharper –10.10% daily drop. The strong positioning of precious metals highlights their continued dominance during periods of broader market uncertainty.

Technology Giants Dominate the Equity Rankings

U.S. technology companies occupy the majority of the remaining top 10 slots. NVIDIA ranks third globally with a market cap of $4.687 trillion, followed by Alphabet at $4.088 trillion.

Apple and Microsoft hold the fifth and sixth positions, with market caps of $3.816 trillion and $3.219 trillion, respectively. Notably, Microsoft shows a significant –9.99% daily decline, making it one of the weakest performers among the top-ranked equities in the snapshot.

Bitcoin Falls Just Below Saudi Aramco

Bitcoin’s move to 11th place places it just behind Saudi Aramco, which holds the 10th position with a market capitalization of $1.663 trillion. The narrow gap between the two assets underscores how sensitive Bitcoin’s ranking is to short-term price movements.

The visual comparison also shows Bitcoin as the only cryptocurrency listed within the top 15 global assets, reinforcing its unique position as the largest digital asset by market value despite recent weakness.

Market Snapshot Signals a Rotation in Leadership

The current rankings illustrate a clear rotation in global asset leadership. Precious metals remain at the top, mega-cap technology stocks continue to command investor attention, and Bitcoin’s position has weakened amid recent downside price action.

While the image reflects only a moment-in-time snapshot, Bitcoin’s exit from the top 10 highlights how closely its global standing remains tied to short-term market volatility relative to slower-moving traditional assets.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
