Furthermore, 92.39% of BTC exists in the current circulation from its total supply of 21M BTCs.

However, the market capitalization is seen to drop by 3.22% worth $487B, ranking the top position in the crypto market. 

On the other hand, Bitcoin miners are facing difficulty by 2.18%, defending with the increased hash rate. This creates huge competition among miners since the record crosses 52.35 trillion. Yet, crypto investors rely on trading BTC despite difficulties and drops.
