Despite a roughly 7% price drop over the past week, BTC is currently priced at around $71,553. However, its 24-hour trading volume has increased by 4.42%, surpassing $27.6 billion, indicating a surge in buying activity. Many investors view Bitcoin as 'digital gold,' suitable for long-term value storage and inflation resistance. Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) recently stated publicly on the X platform that Bitcoin is the ultimate value storage tool in modern society, perfectly fitting the definition of a 'hard asset.' He also pointed out that other mainstream cryptocurrencies share similar characteristics. This statement has significantly boosted market confidence during periods of price volatility. The core feature of hard assets is strict supply limitation: Bitcoin's permanent cap: 21 million coins Circulating supply: ~20 million coins Remaining to be mined: ~1 million coins Current market cap: ~$1.37 trillion Institutional holdings: Large companies and funds hold ~1.17 million coins
