Bitcoin has set a new all-time high (ATH) around $123,000, but cryptocurrency 
market inflows are still far from the peak observed back in 2024. Crypto 
Capital Inflows Are Currently Sitting At $51 Billion As pointed out by analyst 
Ali Martinez in a new post on X, there is a stark difference in capital 
participation between the current Bitcoin rally and the one from December 
2024. Related Reading: Bitcoin Breaks $118,000—But Liquidity Still Thin, 
Glassnode Warns Below is the chart shared by the analyst that compares the two 
bull runs. The graph captures the 30-day capital flows occurring for Bitcoin, 
Ethereum, and the stablecoins. For the former two assets, it tracks them using 
the Realized Cap indicator. The Realized Cap is a capitalization model that 
calculates a given cryptocurrency&#8217;s total value by assuming that each coin in 
the circulating supply has its value equal to the last time it changed hands 
on the network. In short, what the metric represents is the amount of capital 
that investors of the asset as a whole have put into it. Changes in this 
indicator, therefore, correspond to the entry or exit of capital into the 
network. As is visible in the chart, the 30-day Realized Cap change for 
Bitcoin and Ethereum (colored in orange) has gone up alongside the latest 
price rally, indicating that capital has flowed into these coins. It&#8217;s also 
apparent that stablecoin flows (blue) have also noted an uptick, although the 
scale has been smaller. For stables, capital flow can be directly measured 
using the market cap, since their price is always pegged to $1 means that the 
Realized Cap never differs from the market cap. In the cryptocurrency sector, 
capital mainly comes in through three entry points: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and 
stablecoins. The altcoins usually only receive a rotation of capital from 
these assets. Since the flows related to the three have recently been 
positive, the market as a whole has been getting an injection of capital. In 
total, the aggregate capital inflows for the cryptocurrency sector have stood 
at $51.2 billion for the past month. This is certainly a sizeable figure on 
its own, but it pales in comparison to what was witnessed before. Related

As Martinez has highlighted in the chart, the monthly capital flows peaked at 
almost $135 billion in the December 2024 Bitcoin rally above $100,000, more 
than double the latest number. Something to keep in mind, however, is the fact 
that the previous run was more explosive, while the latest one has come in two 
waves: an initial recovery surge above $100,000 that led into a consolidation 
phase and the current breakout into the $120,000 levels. This could, at least 
in part, explain why the metric has appeared relatively cool recently. Bitcoin 
Price At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $121,700, up nearly 3% 
over the last 24 hours. Featured image from Dall-E, Glassnode.com, chart from
