With Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: BTC) reputation for being "digital gold" cementing rapidly, it's the perfect example of how the idea of money as a form of value storage is changing to be more fluid and less pinned down to physical objects. Most people would point to physical gold as a store of value. The global market cap for gold, at the prevailing market price of around $2,751 per ounce, is roughly $18.4 trillion.

Generally speaking, stock splits take place when the price of a stock is deemed to be too expensive for the average investor. In a stock split, there is no change to the overall market cap of the stock. In a 2-for-1 stock split, for example, the number of shares doubles, but the price of each share is cut in half.

With all-important coins like Bitcoin, (CRYPTO: BTC) Solana, (CRYPTO: SOL) and XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) hovering near their all-time highs, it's a good time to be a cryptocurrency investor.

President Trump ended some of the crypto regulation by enforcement actions taken over the last few years, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) pulled back SAB 122, which kept banks from holding crypto for customers. According to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence, Cardano (CRYPTO: ADA) was one of the biggest losers, falling 13.6% over the past week, Polkadot (CRYPTO: DOT) fell 14.4%, and Uniswap (CRYPTO: UNI) fell 15.4%. In fact, whale investors sold 180 million Cardano tokens this week despite the potentially better market conditions.
