What is Bitcoin Gold?
Bitcoin Gold (BTG) is a Layer-1 blockchain network currently ranked 578th by market capitalization across all crypto assets we track. As a Layer-1 network, BTG provides settlement, consensus, and computation for a wider ecosystem of applications. The token plays a dual role: paying for transaction fees, and acting as the economic incentive securing the network.
Market position
At the current price of $1.26, Bitcoin Gold carries a market capitalization of $24.16M. Daily trading volume across exchanges sits at roughly $666.51K. That works out to a 24-hour turnover of about 2.76% of the float — consistent with healthy market activity for a mid-to-large cap asset.
Price action across timeframes
Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin Gold has moved +295.63%; over the past week, Bitcoin Gold has moved +336.91%.
Cycle position
Bitcoin Gold is currently trading far below its all-time high (all-time high of $539.72, -99.8% from peak). .
Supply & dilution
The circulating supply stands at 19,103,142 BTG. About 91.0% of the maximum supply is now in circulation; remaining issuance is gradual but should be factored into long-term valuation.
Volatility profile
Recent price action puts Bitcoin Gold in the Extreme-volatility bucket. The asset is in a high-volatility regime — these are the conditions where outsized gains and losses both become more likely.
How to evaluate Bitcoin Gold
A balanced read on BTG typically considers three lenses:
- Network & on-chain activity — does usage justify the valuation? Live activity (above) should ideally trend up over time.
- Cycle position — current price relative to ATH (above) sets the risk/reward asymmetry. Closer to ATL is mathematically lower downside; closer to ATH is higher downside.
- Comparable assets — how is BTG performing against the broader crypto market (BTC, total market cap) and against peers in the same sector? The benchmarks chart on this page shows this directly.
This page combines live market data, on-chain stats where available, exchange-by-exchange volume, and our forecast model so you can answer those three questions in one place. Nothing on this page is investment advice — it's a structured starting point for your own due diligence.
