Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) has seen over $100 trillion in total value transferred over its blockchain since it was first created.

What Happened: Glassnode data shared by Ark Investment Management’s on-chain analyst David Puell on Thursday confirmed the cumulative value transacted had crossed the trillion mark. However, Puell said that investors should be cautious when interpreting the metric.

The true measure of cumulative economic activity when entity adjusted is closer to a figure of $7.3 trillion.

Bitcoin is the world’s largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of $412 billion. At its peak price, the leading digital asset had a market cap of over $1.2 trillion.

The significance of the value transacted on the network is of note considering that no banks or financial intermediaries were involved in the transfers that were made exclusively on the blockchain.
