Spot crypto ETFs could push Bitcoin market cap to billions
Highlighting the current trajectory, Young Ju said these products could elevate Bitcoin’s realized market capitalization by $76 billion to $114 billion over the next year.
The realized cap refers to the aggregate cost basis of all Bitcoin in circulation at its last transacted price. CryptoQuant’s model suggests the metric could climb from around $451 billion to $527 billion—$565 billion.
Notably, Young Ju sees Bitcoin topping out around $104,000 to $112,000 if the realized cap rises to those levels.

He cited a ratio between Bitcoin’s overall market capitalization relative to its realized cap, reaching an “overvalued” threshold of around 3.9. The metric has peaked between 3.7 and 4.0 during previous bull market frenzies.
Bitcoin has surged above $49,000 and is eyeing $50,000 at press time. BTC is up by 17% in the last seven days and 3.12% in the last 24 hours. Ethereum is following suit and is also up by almost 2% in the last 24 hours. However, it is unclear whether BTC has gained the momentum to breach the $50,000 level.
