Since the beginning of this year, the price of Bitcoin has been on a massive tear, experiencing more than 100% growth in the past year, which has brought its value to uncharted territories. After the remarkable upside performance in BTC’s price this year, a significant number of fresh crypto millionaires have emerged, showcasing the potential of cryptocurrencies.

New Millionaires Emerge As Bitcoin’s Price Explodes

In a stunning development that sparked optimism across the broader crypto sector, Bitcoin has recently surged to a new all-time high of $126,000 last Monday. With this massive price increase, investors have witnessed a notable rise in profits, pushing thousands of investors into millionaire status.

A recent report from the CNBC SquawkBox news revealed that the most recent surge in Bitcoin’s price is creating a new generation of millionaires. This development highly solidifies its standing as the world’s most potent wealth creator in the dynamic digital era.

In the report, Robert Frank, a wealth editor at CNBC, highlighted that over 70,000 crypto millionaires were created in the past year due to BTC’s price growth. The increase indicates Bitcoin’s increasing dominance as a worldwide store of value in addition to indicating renewed investor confidence.

After 70,000 new investors were added to the millionaire club, the total crypto millionaires now stand at over 240,000. Simply put, more than 240,000 wallets are currently holding coins worth at least $1 million. Such growth in large investors further cements Bitcoin’s reputation as a financial phenomenon that turns long-term holders, institutions, and early adopters into the next wave of cryptocurrency millionaires.

Frank has also reported that there are currently 450 centi-millionaires, which represents those holding coins valued at over $100 million in the crypto sector. Furthermore, the total number of crypto billionaires is situated at 36 in the past year, as prices soar and market sentiment turns overwhelmingly bullish.

Overall Crypto Spending By Investors Skyrockets

During the same period, the entire crypto market cap has increased by more than $2 trillion. Meanwhile, Frank has delved into the overall amount of funds that have been spent so far by investors in the past year.

According to new research by a group of economists, the average cryptocurrency investor spends $0.10 (10%) for every dollar they make. Given that the market has added $2 trillion in the past year, this brings the total crypto spending to $200 billion within the time frame.

Following the remarkable surge in crypto, Frank has revealed a new trend among crypto millionaires, especially those in their 30s and 40s. The current trend showcases that these investors are opting for real estate instead of buying luxury cars, and this is taking place in locations with large crypto populations.
