Late Thursday, February 11, Bitcoin (BTC) hit a new all-time high moving past $48,600 levels. The BTC price rally comes as big American corporates like BNY Mellon and Uber warm up to the world’s largest cryptocurrency. At press time, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading 5.22% up at $47,318 with a market cap of $878 billion.
On-chain data from Glassnode shows that BTC can skyrocket 135% further from the current levels thereby smashing past $100,000 levels. Glassnode CTO and co-founder Rafael Schultze-Kraft state that the Bitcoin marketcap to thermocap ratio suggests that BTC can shot 135% from the current levels.
The last time Bitcoin (BTC) was at the same MC/TC ratio it was trading close to $8500 levels, post which it surged 135% higher. So if Bitcoin (BTC) follows a similar growth now, it can shoot past $100K levels.
Last bull market, $BTC was at ~$8,500 when Marketcap to Thermocap was at the current levels – and surged another 135% to the top in just a month.
Things can go fast.

The marketcap/thermocap ratio assesses whether if the asset is trading at a premium to the total security spent by the miners. Apart from it, the high stablecoin deposits at the exchanges and the surge in daily active addresses already hint that Bitcoin will soon be hitting $50,000 levels. The Glassnode CTO also cites the futures funding rates that shows that BTC can touch $50K levels soon.

On the regulatory side, it seems that more and more lawmakers are warming up to Bitcoin. After the Miami mayor’s relentless support to BTC, now NYC mayor Andrew Yang has promised to make the city a hub for BTC.
As mayor of NYC – the world’s financial capital – I would invest in making the city a hub for BTC and other cryptocurrencies.
