Bitcoin has shattered a 15-year record as recent data analysis reveals Bitcoin added more to its realized cap in the last 18 months ($625 billion) than in its first 15 years, when $435 billion were added.
In a recent tweet, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju highlighted a comparison of Bitcoin on-chain capital inflows. Between 2009 and 2024, a 15-year time frame, Bitcoin received capital inflows of $435 billion.
Meanwhile, in the last 18 months or 1.5 years, which spanned from 2024 to 2025, Bitcoin added $625 billion in capital inflows.
The CryptoQuant CEO posted a screenshot of Bitcoin’s realized cap chart, an on-chain metric that measures the value of coins at the price they last transacted.
Bitcoin’s realized cap, which values Bitcoin only when it moves, has surpassed $1 trillion, according to the chart.
